Riding out of the saddle Before this drill starts explain to people how it should be done: weight pressing down on the bars to almost lift your feet up off the pedals so you can dance on the pedals. As with riding one handed, first get them to stand up on the straights, then stand up in the turns, then do laps standing up. Combine this with asking them to shoulder check and change lanes. This is a good drill to do if you have people out who are full of themselves and riding too fast for others. Standing out of the saddle for lap after lap in a little gear tires people out quickly. Do a pyramid drill: 1 lap up, 1 lap down; 2 laps up, 1 lap down; 3 laps up, 1 lap down, etc. Work up to 5 laps up. Then work back down to 1. |
