The tired-legs-wobble, what is the solution?
I tend to get the tired-legs-wobble after about 5 hours of riding, what is the solution?
I notice my handlebars sway left & right with each pedal stroke, especially while climbing. I know I'm becoming less efficient, and this can't be good on a longer ride.
I'm sure better conditioning would help, but I don't always have the opportunity to build a better base, I ride between 250 miles and 500 miles per month, about 3500 miles per year.
My bikes with aero bars seem less likely to wobble when I'm tired. Does the position while using aero bars reduce this problem?
