Mark dives into the delicate balance between aerodynamics and power. While making your ride more aerodynamic can make you feel faster, it doesn’t always mean you’re actually going fast!
From saddle height and crank length to aero bar positioning, he shows you how you could fine-tune your setup to hit that sweet spot—where power meets aerodynamics.
Optimize your position, ride smarter, and go faster! 🚴♂️✨
