Cycling skills

Good fitness doesn't automatically produce good bike handling. A rider can hold strong power indoors yet still feel nervous on descents, drift while looking behind or tense up when a corner tightens. Outdoor cycling asks you to balance, scan, brake, steer and react as the road changes around you. These eight practical drills will help you ride with more control and confidence, so you can focus on the road ahead.

Gravel biking is riding on a mix of paved roads and unpaved surfaces such as forest tracks, towpaths and compacted gravel roads, offering more variety and adventure than a typical road ride. If you're wondering how to start gravel biking, the good news is that you may already have a bike capable of getting you started without spending a fortune on specialist equipment.
