Mind Over Matter | Is Cycling Form All In Your Head?

You've heard it all before: Your mate is on top form; absolutely flying on the bike! Then, next week, they're suddenly cycling slower than a broken down bus - their form has suddenly disappeared. So that begs the question is form physical or mental? In this video, Conor and Hank investigate whether you can think yourself faster and dive into the topic of whether form is in your head or your legs.
