How To Change Gear Like A Pro

Carry more momentum and go faster on your bike by changing gear like a pro.

Selecting the correct gear for upcoming terrain or obstacles is a skill that needs practice. Whilst the pros make transitions between flat roads and steep hills seem effortless, there is actually a lot of skill in the gear changes behind their consistent cadence. Matt Stephens takes you through how to select a gear and where to change.

I try to make a point of wearing gloves whenever I am riding. Just in case some plonker causes me to fall off. The one time I did not do this - recently - and I was hit by a car completely driver error). I lost a LOT of skin including from my palms. I commend you guys wear gloves. However short the ride.
