The hub--an affordable and reliable version of the multi-speed hubs growing in popularity at the time--caught the attention of the industry. So much so that by 1965, Yoshizo Shimano--the youngest son of the company founder in Japan--opened an office in New York. Shimano's goal was to get quicker product feedback and to provide technical and warranty assistance to retailers selling bikes equipped with Shimano parts. Though Shimano American has grown from that first modest office staffed by only three people to a full distribution center with sales and marketing offices, its goals are the same: listen to customers and meet their needs for both bicycle and fishing products. |

Featured Article:
A lot of people come to triathlon from running or swimming backgrounds, usually making the bike their weakest sport. Cycling is so much more than just jumping on a bike between the swim and the run. It is a sport of it's own with more technology involved than either running or swimming. Because the bike leg is the longest, improving your cycling fitness, technique and equipment will make the biggest difference to your finishing time.
Improving your bike split involves the following three areas:
- Cycling Specific Fitness
- Equipment
- Cycling Technique
Cycling Specific Fitness
While similar muscles are used in running the motor patterns of cycling are different. You get better at pedaling a bike by doing just that. You need to put in the miles to get good at pedaling. In addition you need to build both aerobic power and muscular endurance to push the pedals faster.
Most people who are new to cycling tend to push too hard of a gear so you end up fatiguing the legs prematurely. With running to go faster you have to move your legs faster but with cycling you can either move your legs faster or push a harder gear. Choose the faster legs for the biggest payoff. Focus on developing a higher cadence (90-100 RPMS) so your legs are fresher for the run.
You need to build the highest sustained power possible (Functional Threshold Power) which is best done with Threshold Intervals and 4 X 4 Intervals. Depending on the length of your triathlon you will be racing at or below your threshold power. The higher the threshold power is the faster your will go. In cycling you get more from repeated medium to long intervals (4-20 minutes) at higher intensities, than you will from marathon bike sessions. If you are looking to Ironman length you will need longer rides to get used to the distance but don't make this the heart of your program.
And work on your core and flexibility. To stay in the aerobars for most of your race, which is most efficient, you need a strong core. Add Yoga and Cross Training to you program to build core strength, flexibility and muscular endurance if you haven't already.
Equipment
Cycling is the most technological of the three sports. Did you know that choosing the right wheels can save you 3 minutes over a 40 km bike leg? It makes that big of a difference.
When first starting out you can do your triathlons on any bike but if you want to do the best your can you need a proper triathlon bike. The bike is built around fitting properly when you are in the aerobars. As such, the seat angle is steeper, the top tube shorter and chainstays are shorter than a standard road bike. You want an aerodynamic frame and deep rimmed wheels, preferably carbon fiber to keep them light to reduce wind drag. Choose aerobars that allow adjustments as the fixed types are a little lighter but that doesn't help if they don't get you in the right position.
Finally you will want clipless pedals and shoes if you don't run them already. They make a huge difference in both power and letting you pedal smoothly at higher cadences.
Cycling Technique
Unlike swimming and running where you are just controlling your body, with cycling you are piloting a vehicle. Working on improving your bike handling skills can make you faster as you can take corners and the turn around faster. It takes skill and practice to control your bike at the speeds that high fitness will bring you. It takes practice controlling your bike when riding in the aerobars so you will need to work at this so you feel confident staying in the aero position. Staying on the aerobars is the fastest position but you have to work at being comfortable there so you can focus on going fast rather than controlling your bike.
Overview
Many new triathletes are overwhelmed with the options of gear involved in cycling. Find a triathlon friendly bike shop to help guide you into smart equipment choices. Work on your cycling specific fitness and get better at riding your bike. As the pieces come together you will find that your bike leg can become your strength.
It's in you to become a better cyclist. Helping you get there is my number one goal. Equipment, riding skills, fitness and nutrition all have to be dialed in to reach your potential. To take your next step on that journey visit http://www.cyclecambridge.com
The Essential Equipment for the Serious Cyclist
If you're interested in long-distance bicycling, bicycle racing, or triathlons, you're going to need more than just a good bicycle. A wide variety of bike supplies are available, and here are some things you're going to want, whether you're entering a local 10K or the Tour de France.
- Helmet: Of course, this is a basic part of any cyclist's equipment, serious or not. Get a helmet that fits you snugly and comfortably and has a smooth, rounded shape without exaggerated vents or projections that could snag on something. Some helmets have built-in visors, but these can shatter dangerously if you fall. A good pair of bicycle sunglasses are a better option to protect your eyes against sun, wind, and debris.
- Clothing: Look for snug-fitting, synthetic bike shorts, jersey, and socks to help keep you comfortable and wick moisture away from your skin. If you're a long-distance rider, padded shorts are well worth the investment. Padded cycling gloves will help avert numbness from the pressure of your hands on the handlebars, and are a safeguard against hamburger hands if you fall. For maximum efficiency in pedaling, fit your bike with clipless pedals and wear bike shoes that can be attached directly to the pedals.
- Hydration: A bike water bottle and cage are a must to keep yourself hydrated on long rides. Having water at hand will make a huge difference in your stamina, comfort, and health. If you ride very long and hard, or hate having to stop to take the bottle out, a CamelBak hydration pack may work better for you.
- Bike accessories: If you're planning to ride at night, be sure your bike is outfitted with sufficient reflectors and a lighting system first. A rear-view mirror is also useful if you're going to be sharing the road with cars and other cyclists. And a gel cover, or other form of extra padding, on the saddle never hurts.
- Bike maintenance and security: While you don't want to weigh yourself down too much, carrying a lightweight frame pump is a better alternative to having a day's riding ruined by a flat. Toss a bike tool kit into the trunk of your car, and you'll be ready to handle any mechanical problems. And with all that you've invested in your bicycle, it goes without saying that you want a quality bike chain to keep it secure.

MY FEET burn (the ball of my foot) after I ride my bicycle for more than 1/2 hour. Do you know why?
I ride on pavement with clipless pedals.
It is a muscle problem (muscle in your feet). I have had that problem years ago when I rode. A lot of that sort of problem is solved by changing shoes, even for pedaling. To what? Usually, almost anything that is different from what you use will work.
It also could be the position of your foot on the pedal. Try pedaling with your toes instead of the ball of your feet, or vice-versa.
Also, check your seat height. It could be too high, which might make you over-extend your feet.
This is the sort of problem you can solve yourself, by thought and experimentation once you understand the general problem.
The best source of problem solving for feet problems is RUNNER'S REPAIR MANUAL, probably available used online. But, I don't know if it covers biking problems or not, but you may find that 'burning feet" problem.
