Long distance bike riding requires a certain type of training. Training for any endurance event places a huge amount of extra strain on your body. As you are pushing your body to its limits, it is so much easier to push yourself too hard. Doing so can have two different types of ill effect. First of all you can dramatically increase your chances of getting injured as you increase the workload you place on the body.
Secondly training for long periods can cause you to work the body so hard that it does not have time to recover leading to what is known as chronic over training. This is when the body slowly gets more and more worn out, leading to decreases in performance. Many riders fail to grasp this concept that riding harder or further may not actually make you fitter or stronger.
As described above it is crucial to get the right balance of training work load and rest. The easiest way to achieve this is to follow a training schedule. A properly constructed training schedule will contain exactly the right balance of work and rest. This is usually achieved by having a carefully constructed mix of different types of ride. Different workouts should be added to improve different aspects of your riding such as climbing, speed, endurance, recovery, cadence and power amongst others.
Riding over long distances also requires a structured approach to your diet and nutrition. Did you know for example that if you want to lose weight you will do so by riding at much slower speeds for longer as opposed to riding very fast for shorter periods?

Choosing the Correct Cycling Equipment For a Triathlon
Cycle equipment
The longest portion of any triathlon event is the bike leg. This is also the most technologically complicated area of equipment purchase. Money can easily be wasted and expensive equipment can become obsolete if you are not knowledgeable.
Know your bike type
Bicycles come in a huge variety of shapes, sizes and areas of best use. The storage compound for bikes at a race (the transition area) can be filled with mountain bikes, hybrids, racing bikes and specific tri-bikes. All allow you to get from T1 (the swim-to-bike transition) to T2 (the bike-to-run transition).
Frame size
When choosing a bike, it is vital to get the right size frame as, unlike many components, such as the three contact points (the handlebars, saddle and pedals), it can't be changed. Sizing your ideal frame size is best done by a bike shop or tri store. You can ask advice and the helpful staff will often pass on some useful tips and tricks, so try to develop a good relationship with them.
The bike frame size that is easiest to measure starts from the centre of the bottom bracket, up the seat tube, to a point where the middle of the top tube intersects - known as centre-to-middle. Manufacturers, mechanics and athletes all vary in how they measure frame size, but, as a ball-park figure, take your inside leg measurement and then multiply by 0.67. For example, 91cm x 0.67 = 60.97 or a 61cm frame.
The exact seat height can be varied by moving the seat post up and down. Similarly, change the distance of the handlebars by changing the stem length. Start with the right frame size and you will be more comfortable, safer and more likely to enjoy your time in the saddle. Correct set up is vital and is well worth the investment in time and money. The bike needs to put you in the right position; don't contort yourself to fit the bike. As bike speeds are higher than running, heat loss is greater and impacts with the ground harder, so it pays to buy a pair of cycling shorts, a cycle jersey and gloves. Longer or thicker 'longs' are needed if you intend to ride outdoors in winter.
Top Tip
Equipment that saves you time removes those wasted sessions and kit failures. Well-fitting goggles, quality tyres and inner tubes plus well-kept comfortable running shoes should be your top kit purchases.

Knock on knee cap,how should I treat it?
Almost 2 weeks ago I hit my knee cap pretty hard right in the center of it with my bicycle stem when standing up.I have had no swelling and it does not hurt at all when I walk or do anything else but when I cycle it hurts,sometimes.After a cycle it's tingly and I can feel there's something going on inside my knee.Any ideas anyone?
Take it easy and give it some time to heal. DOn't put pressure on the knee cap for few days. Avoid things that causes pain. After few days gradually increase activities as the pain subsides. You can try RICE as well.
RICE Stands for Rest, ICE, Compression and Elevation
Rest is required initially depending on how long it takes to recover.
I – Stands for ICE. You can ICE massage directly on where it hurts. Take Styrofoam cup filled with water and Freeze it. Remove the bottom portion of the cup and use it to massage. Don’t do this more than 20 minutes at any given time. Do ICE Massage 2 to 3 times a day based on the pain level. You can also try to keep ice bag on your knee or where it hurts. Usually Ice massage is more effective than ice bag.
Compression: Use Compression bandage to keep the swelling out. You can use this while taking rest. If you don’t feel comfortable you don’t have to compress it.
Elevation: Leg or your knee has to be kept elevated above your heart while you are lying down. This will bring the swelling down. You can do this for few minutes a day or while taking rest.
Good luck with you
