Good advice from the responders. Once you have absorbed all these different techniques and tips, get on your bike (on or off a trainer) and try them, picking the one that works best for you. Saddle time is the best way to make these techniques a part of your everyday ride routine. A sign over the counter at my LBS reads, "The answer to your riding questions: The more you ride, the better you get and the better you get, the more you ride."
