Training - Without The Bike

Featured Replies

How about a uni-cycle. I picked up a used on for $100 and I am trying to work it into my schedule.

Make VROOOOM noises too

some good (and not so good) tips in this video. :hyper:

on a serious note, i can see why some fitness training works well. still pretty new to trials and just back from two day's worth, i can barely move today.

That standing on a ball looks more dangerous than riding the bike!!

TLTEL

Tried it once, indoors. Cue broken furniture, cuts and bruises....

Apart from getting generally fit, anyone any recommendations on getting 'bike fit' erm, without using the bike? Winter evenings rule out mid-week practice.

Suggested options so far range from mountain biking to yoga.

I was wondering if using a trials bicycle would do the trick.

Thank you.

Bare footed, close your eyes... put arms up at shoulder height out at sides (not towards front) and stand on one leg for as long as you can... then swap legs!

and then stand on a pillow or thick cushion... foot can't feel flour too well so its wobble city!! Don't crash!

Practice makes perfect... I'm not good at it but getting better!

A trials bicycle is a very good idea, some top riders use them.

At page 130 - 131 of this catalog are some useful exercises:

The neighbours would complain if I copied the video :)

actually it takes quite a bit of effort to get the sounds right... some good (and bad) examples in this video.

on a serious note, i practice balancing on the ball of either foot any chance i get... in queues, watching tv, doing the washing up. i figure it can't hurt and hopefully might be developing a better sense of balance.
