Out of saddle performance
Hey guys, not sure if this is the right forum or not...if not please forgive!
Everyday I go up the same hill, not huge, but enough to make my new-to-cycling self exert enough to want to stand on the pedals.
The problem is when I do this, I feel very inefficient. I am riding a '05 Kona Jake, with toe-clips. Clipless pedals are in the future, but I need help for now. I know I don't have the best form or technique, how do I work on this...any tips? When I get out of the saddle I am much stronger on the downstroke but have no upstroke and the bike bounces around under me alot.
My question is basically what can I do to work on my technique and "smoothness". I need to learn how to spin smoothly, but don't know where to start!
Help guys!
Thanks in advance,
Brad
