Great insights into bicycling aerodynamics and the science of cycling.<br \/>\n1. Time trialing is about efficiency, not power.  It&#8217;s much easier to increase efficiency rather than increasing power.<br \/>\n2. Your bike accounts for only 15-20% of overall drag.<br \/>\n3. 75% of drag is determined by your body&#8217;s resistance against the air.<br \/>\n4. There is a relationship between biomechanics and power output and aerodynamics.  You have to balance all 3 to maximize power output over time.<br \/>\n5. A non-aero helmet creates four times the drag of a non-aero wheelset.  So spend money on an aero helmet!<br \/>\n6. How the race number is fixed to the bike matters &#8211; make it as flat as possible against the bike.<br \/>\n7. On a round tubed bike frame, a water bottle on the seat tube is more aero than without.    It is more aero to put it there than putting it on the down tube.<br \/>\n8. Wearing gloves creates more drag than having a non-aero front wheel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An interesting article from Bicycling magazine, September 2006, p. 32.
