    Yeah and about the same applies to when you will actually have anything constructive to add.


    I'll take your silence to mean you realise you are wrong but just not big enough to admit it.

    Fine by me, though I think the last word should go to Bradley Wiggins. There's another nobody who obviously doesn't realise he's an idiot spending time being concerned about and working on improving his pedaling.

    Some people on the internet are intelligent enough to discuss things with. Then there's you.

    "So, you are attempting to argue against scientific consensus by citing a cycling commentator and a Halfords advert? "

    I think you are confused and a tad insulting.

    Insulting, not to me (not that I care tbh). To Paul Sherwen. Look up his cv.

    Confused. Well if you are not state clearly what exactly does the "scientific consensus" show?

    So far, based on his input, I took Alex's views to be:

    - cyclists instinctively pedal in the best possible way
    - this is an innate ability, it doesn't need to be learned and cannot be improved by training.
    --- as corollaries
    ----> they can do this regardless of cycling situation
    ----> they can do this despite being innately unaware of factors related to bike setup which will cause their pedaling to be worse.

    IOW you are as good at pedaling as Bradley Wiggins.

    I take it you agree with these statements? If no what do you believe?

    Whatever reference the specific studies that support them. (Alex's are flawed so don't just parrot them.)

    Also please give your explanation of the fact that no cyclists in the tour de france have a bad pedaling action while most cyclists in sportives do.

    For the hundredth time, don't argue with an idiot who can't even use the quote function :lol:

    Two more constructive comments, very relevant to this topic.

    I will try again.

    My view isn't a controversial one. It's simply that
    - pedaling is a skill
    - the better you are at pedaling the better will be your cycling performance
    - like all other skills pedaling ability is partly innate partly a result of adaption and training
    - it's worth spending some time looking at how you can improve your pedaling (through adapation and training) since this will probably improve your cycling performance.

    Simple question.

    Do you agree or disagree with the above?
