Zebra Posted April 1, 2023 Share Most every morning, driving Camps Bay /Clifton route, en-route to Paarden Eiland, I pass a rider with a ‘purposefully exaggerated’ one-legged cycling style, almost as if he is doing an exercise ‘drill’, using one leg only, and massive upper-body movement. Since I don’t feel he is a disabled rider, anyone she’d any light on who he is, and if he is indeed doing a drill, or is maybe disabled?

mecheng89 Posted April 2, 2023 Share A few programs I've done in the past incorporate it. There must be a good reason, I can't remember what they were. I think they are stupid, so I never do them. But when I did, it was on the IDT exclusively. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted April 2, 2023 Share I once had a training program from https://www.53x12.com/about (Dr Ferrari and his brother) and one legged drills were a feature.
