shaper Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 If you want to go fast, get a red bike... On a more serious note, cycle with friends who have better ability and you will push yourself more quickly and you can follow their routes and lines. Better fitness will help in controlling the bike as is usually when you are tired you fall more. Dorpie 1

Maximis Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Try riding with someone better or fitter than you. Riding with a more experienced rider can increase your effort on the bike by 200%. Good luck!
