One of the benefits of the ADT wood track is that area riders can see world class athletes ride rollers, just like we all did back in day. I think having a smooth pedal stroke is essential to cycling skillfully. It allows the rider to relax the upper body, which in turn allows the bike to be steered and manipulated. If the rider has stiff arms, upper body and with a jerky up and down pedal stroke, he can't possibly be in control of his bike. It also makes for some pretty interesting, close quarters riding when you are next to someone who has bad form.
If possible, please keep you knees out of my spokes. Thank you.
