Post the three best tips you have been given by some experienced roadie – try to just post three (I know it's hard) so other people get a chance ….

1. "Stay off the big ring." Only use it when you have to. Easier more efficient pedalling I guess, I never asked why.
2. "Rest in the drops." I think I heard that on TV in the 80’s from some cycling coach. It is a hard one to stick to sometimes. I think this is a really old piece of advice.
3. "Air is cheaper than Kevlar." Never let your tyres drop below 100psi. Stops glass penetrating the tyre among other things.
