Triathlon cycling is the longest portion of the race so it is important that you are comfortable and efficient when you race.  Here are some cycling tips to improve your racing skills.

* Position your seat properly to avoid pains in the back and knees.
* Air the tires properly with maximum pressure.  This will reduce rolling resistance and help avoid pinch flats.
* Lubricate the chain of your bicycle and check the breaks to make sure there is no rubbing.
* Pick shoes that have stiff soles because they are more efficient in transferring energy.
* The most efficient speed for cycling is from 90 to 110 revolutions per minute and also depends on the driver as well as the terrain.
* Warm up so you’ll get your body ready to start pumping blood to all your muscles.
* Use toe clips to help keep your feet attached firmly to the pedal.
* You can also see clip less pedals to have the greatest efficiency when racing.
