Oh god, I cannot even stress how important out of saddle riding is.
It makes you miles faster going up hills, able to accelerate to full speed in far less time after reaching a red light, and often stops you from needing to switch to extremely low gears. Everyone who plans on taking biking seriously should learn it, that's not even a question.

If you cycle on the roads, having a good knowledge of the rules of the road and what each road sign or road markings means, Is a fantastic way of helping you to be a safe and confident cyclist.

Always wear gloves - when you fall-off, your hands will appreciate them.

As a recent beginner, you may want to mention how difficult it set off in a hard gear.

Just back on my bike .when I was a kid it seemed to be a case of getting on and peddling.
Now it seems to be more of a science.
I did 17 kilometres the other day, so happy. Ok It's not the Tour de France.
Also running on dyno at home to help.
Thanks for the great videos.

number 5/ don't assume the bloke with the top end expensive bike and all the gear actually knows what he is talking about

genuinely a hard vid to make I imagine... especially for anyone like 2 ex pros where all of this comes as naturally as breathing... well done

One thing you've missed on braking which would be appreciated; how to shift your weight to A) not go over the handlebars if most of your braking comes from the front wheel, and B) compensate for any fishtailing.

You're not wrong by calling this video 4 basic skills...
I would say that the next set of basic skills should be


1. Ride no handed

2. Take a drink
3. Change a flat tire
4. Find your way home if you're lost


Have you ever waived at someone and they don't waive back? It's not that they're rude, it's that they can't take their hands off the bars

I'd like to know how to blow my nose whilst in my aero bars.

Thanks, Chris.

These are all the answers I wanted to know. Everybody says just get on and ride. Experienced riders think cornering and breaking comes naturally. Great explanation.

Braking is so important to learn i had so many scary times where drivers just reverse out of their driveway without looking it is so important to practice fast braking

I wish i have a bike, that's my childhood dream to have one. When my friends are out for the ride, i am the only one that doesn't belong there because i don't have one.

I have been riding bikes since I was a kid but I still have love for "fundamentals" videos.
