How do you know if you have an efficient pedal stroke or not? Certainly this was a question that I tried to ignore when I first started cycling. I knew that my pedal stroke wasn’t the best of the people that I rode and trained with but I had no insight into why it wasn’t as good as the pedal stroke that they were able to produce. So when I first got my hands on a Wattbike (late 2009) I was blown away by being able to see (polar view) how I was… continue reading

The initial tests on the Wattbikes at TECO Training showed up a few points that the husband and wife duo needed to work at.
