I heard that proper leg positioning when cycling is very important. I am not sure what they are talking about. I mean, after all you put your feet on the pedals and you start cycling. What is there to position? Are they talking nonsense or is there something to it?
Well, there is something to it. You have to position your saddle first. The angle your legs are making is very important since it decides where the stress of pushing is going to be placed. It is very important to take the stress off your knees and make sure that your leg muscles do the work. Otherwise you can end up with the pain in your knees after each race. This is something you want to avoid.
