Cycling efficiency might refer to several aspects of riding: your pedal stroke, your riding style, and, how you burn fuel.
How can you work on these aspects? Focussing on riding in the saddle is one great way of doing this as it uses far less energy than riding out the saddle for sustained periods. Pre-breakfast rides are also a great way of improving how efficient your body is at using a variety of fuel sources - this session is great for training your body to utilise fat. Tempo sessions and training at the effort level that you'll spend most of your time racing at, will help you to used to those effort levels and therefore become more efficient.

Illegal Super Bike | So Fast It Was Banned!
Have we finally found the first carbon fibre monocoque UCI-banned superbike which can topple the time of a modern road bike? The Hotta has Tour de France Prologue Victories and Olympic Medals to its name and we've got not just one, but two of these very special machines to pit against a brand-new Canyon Aeroad.
