Sometimes, when we ride a bicycle outside, we always feel particularly strenuous. Even on a relatively flat road, we always feel that there seems to be some kind of obstacle that has been hindering our progress. Is it the resistance of the wind? , or other unnecessary factors? In fact, I don’t know if you have considered it. It may be because of problems with your own riding movements that cause you to ride slower and slower.
But in the actual situation, there are many friends who don't know how to ride a bicycle, and they often have this kind of situation of riding slower and slower, but they have no way to solve it, and they don't know where the problem is.
First of all, in the process of riding, there are many factors that will affect the speed of riding. For example, the most basic one is the riding posture. If the riding position is not right, even if you are riding a high-end bicycle with superior performance, then it can also appear to be strenuous, and it is not easy, and it always feels hindered.

That's because your riding posture is not correct. Riding postures like nodding and bowing are wrong and should be avoided during riding. The correct posture should be that the body is slightly leaning forward, and the arms are straight, the waist is straight, and the chest and abdomen should be raised at the same time, and the method of abdominal absorption should be used to inhale. Parallel state, this is the correct riding posture.
Secondly, the second factor that affects riding speed is the action of the pedals. Many people may think that it is enough to just step on the bicycle with their feet, and it can be done by just taking a turn. In fact, this is wrong. When pedaling, you should follow the four actions of stepping, pulling, lifting, and pushing, and pay attention to grasping the rhythm. If you can ride a bicycle according to this principle, it will not only save your energy, but also increase your riding speed, killing two birds with one stone.
Another influencing factor is frequency. Many friends blindly pursue speed while cycling, and do not pay attention to frequency. The correct cycling frequency should be controlled at 60 to 80 pedals per minute, so that the average speed of a person during cycling can be maintained constant without drastic ups and downs; if you blindly pursue speed, it will be easy for people in the end You'll get tired, and you can't go any faster, so there's no point in doing it.

So pay attention to the above factors and change the wrong habits, then the riding speed will be faster. At the same time, we should also pay attention to choosing a suitable bicycle for ourselves. The model and size should be correct, so as to lay a good foundation for riding.
