How to prepare yourself and your bike optimally for the upcoming cycling season
Fit for the 2024 cycling season
Of course, it would be best if you exercised regularly throughout the winter. Whether it was skiing, jogging, working out at the gym, or even cross-country skiing.
However, if you didn't exercise as much during the winter months, it's best to start training six weeks before your first longer ride and slowly get your body used to the strain again.
These 4 training types will help you get in shape for the upcoming cycling season!
Classic exercises like lunges, squats, and burpees will help you strengthen your muscles. This also makes you less prone to injury. It's best to do strength training not just as a prep session, but also throughout the cycling season.
A strong core not only helps you transfer power to your bike better, it also helps prevent back pain! You'll thank us after long rides! One of the most well-known stabilization exercises is the plank, for example, strenuous but effective.
Before the cycling season, you should definitely work on your basic endurance. 2-3 times a week for about 40 minutes of endurance training is enough. Swimming or jogging are ideal, but roller training is also great!
Try basic exercises like standing on one leg on a soft or wobbly surface. Not so easy anymore, is it? 😉
This way, you can optimally strengthen your coordination and balance.
Not only does your body need preparation - your bike needs care too!
You should carefully clean any dirt and old oil from your bike's chain using an old rag. To do this, shift into the highest gear. This will place your chain on the smallest sprocket, making it easier to clean. Then, you can use a special chain cleaner and water to remove any remaining oil. After cleaning, it's essential to re-oil it, but be sure to wait until your chain is completely dry!
Be sure to check the condition of your brake pads. If there's less than 1 mm of wear on your brake pads, it's about time to replace them.
Try braking right away. Is the brake pressure okay? Or is the lever pushing too far? If so, then it's time to bleed your brakes. A visit to a specialist is recommended.
After winter storage, it's no wonder your tires are deflated. Ideally, you should check your tire pressure several times during the winter and adjust it accordingly. However, if you're now standing in front of your bike and ready to start the season, you should check your tires for damage and definitely inflate them!
The circuitry should also be checked regularly – but if you're not very familiar with it, you should leave it to a professional. This will definitely save you a lot of time and stress! 🤫
PS: We speak from experience...
Setting goals will motivate you and make it easier for you to get back into the swing of things.
If you commute to work, try to cycle to work at least once a week. Then gradually increase this until you're cycling to work three times a week!
Another goal would be to cycle all journeys under 5km. You can also expand this goal as you like and adjust it to your level.
