Why aren't Tour de France riders going any faster? Can you produce a plot of the residual with time after distance has been factored out? Some bounty will wing it's way over if you can ;-) |

“Proper” cycling posture on a road bike with drop bars? You might want to look at saddle position too - i.e. fore/aft adjustment and tilt (not everyone likes it completely horizontal) |

Why aren't Tour de France riders going any faster? Fantastic answer! Although the statement "That there is a still a strong relationship between length of the Tour and overall speed simply means that the organizers haven't completely compensated for the distance effect with increased difficulty" is perhaps a little strong, as it implies that the distance effect is the main effect at work here? But overall, the flavour of this seems to be that once you factor out race distance, all of the technology etc has made even less difference! Wouldn't it be great to send them all out on 60's bikes and see what happens! |

How do I calculate the power required to climb a hill at a given cadence? Ah but stamina is related to the different energy systems in the body ... doesn't necessarily mean that the power output is different! |

What to do if you are about to get doored? @heltonbiker I think the Peugeot tried that, but the extra weight made the car a pig to drive. Maybe all cars should have gullwing doors |

How do I calculate the power required to climb a hill at a given cadence? @heltonbiker I don't think that's right: I think the energy required is the same, it's just that the body has different systems that work at the two different cadences (slow/fast twitch muscles), which use different energy systems in the body. The result is a difference in psychological effort, not physiological effort. |
