Therefore I can't see that it's something that a amateur could hope to avoid while riding in an aggressive manner. The torque of pedaling will tend to drive the cyclist forward, and the extreme prone position will tend to make it harder to resist the forward motion with the arms. It happens. | |

| Apr 17, 2012 at 18:28 | comment | added | Bryant | After reading this post I was paying attention to my own shuffling on my ride this morning. I noticed it only happens when I'm putting in the maximum effort and it feels more like I'm trying to get some extra power by moving back slightly. So I'm wondering how much is a fit issue and how much is just physics. | |

But reach, or an incorrect frame size can be causing it, too. If you've been fit, by a trained and skilled fitter, then it's hard to say without more details. | |

| Apr 16, 2012 at 17:48 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | Added some text into the question for anyone who can't see the video, but if I'm still misunderstanding the problem, please revert my edits in a heartbeat! | |

| Apr 16, 2012 at 17:45 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | Nice edit! That's interesting; now I understand the problem a lot better. (I think I do the same thing, actually. Looking forward to seeing the answer.) My close vote will expire naturally in time. | |
| Apr 16, 2012 at 17:39 | comment | added | fady | updated. sorry about that neil. yeah, i'm wondering why i do this. Someone i ride with says it because of my push and pull momentum, but that does not really explain much | |
| Apr 16, 2012 at 17:38 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | It sounds like this question is more of a poll; have voted to close. If, rather than asking people who also does this, you want to ask why, that'd be a good question. | |
