🚴♂️🔧 Mastering Your Ride: The Art of Bicycle Mechanics & Efficient Pedaling! #CyclingLife As someone deeply passionate about cycling, I recently dove into the intricacies of bicycle mechanics and the significant impact of pedaling techniques. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just starting, understanding the core mechanics of your bicycle can not only enhance your ride but also extend the longevity of your beloved two-wheeler. 💥 One fascinating aspect I've explored is the dual-motion in pedaling — not just pushing down but also pulling up. This technique can markedly increase your riding efficiency, making those long rides less daunting and more enjoyable. 🤔 Have you ever given much thought to how you pedal? Or considered a basic mechanical course to better understand and maintain your bike? I encourage all cycling enthusiasts to not only ride but to also comprehend the mechanics behind what makes your ride so smooth

Did you hear about the three levels of cycling infrastructure? According to the Dutch, of course. The basic level is the infrastructure where only a few people dare to cycle. If it's unsafe for kids, can you even call it bike infrastructure? Slightly better are bike lanes where most people are able to cycle. There's more space, and it is safer, but it is still not for everyone. Most bike lanes in Ljubljana are like that—a lot of shared space with pedestrians. And there's the third level: bike lanes that invite to cycle. With bike lanes like these, people will bike further and more often. You will see much of that in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and one day where you live! https://lnkd.in/dGvNPFYW
