TIPS AND CUES
• Proper form is important for efficient riding technique, injury prevention, activation of
the correct cycling muscles and effective workouts
• Cue riders to pedal in a smooth and balanced way, maintaining a parallel knee position.
While seated, keep the knees angled over the feet. Refrain from moving the hips side to
side. This movement can affect the knee joint alignment.
• Remind riders to never sacrifice form for speed. Faster doesn’t necessarily equate to
harder training (refer to the power formula).
• Periodically cue riders to check their form in a mirror. Be sure the knees are over the
toes and regularly cue proper posture — maintaining neutral spine with the shoulders
and arms relaxed.
• The grip on the handlebars should be light. There should always be hand contact with the
handlebars unless riders are drinking water, recovering, warming up or cooling down.
• In standing position, avoid leaning too far forward,
especially when using light resistance. Keep the
body over the saddle and within the “saddle
alignment zone”. The saddle alignment zone refers
to positioning over the saddle in such a way that
there is always some contact.
• Riders should be encouraged to ride at their own
intensity and not be concerned with keeping up with the instructor or other riders in the
class. Instructors should provide options for riders to cycle at intensities appropriate to
their fitness level.
