What does it feel like riding a bike to 70km/h?
I m Professional cyclist, international level rider, 2014 Inchon Asian Games track cycling champion
Several photos to prevent the doubt. Early June of this year, these are several data at South Korea Cup competition.
The so-called ride to 70KM/h, should be viewed from two aspects, one is as hard as to sprint, riding out on the common road. There is another place on the mountain. Of course, it is not recommended that amateurs who can not well control the bike and whose bike’s rigidity is good to follow this action,
(the following description is in the premise of wind and better rigidity of the bike)
The road without wind, riders who can reach at 70km/h sprint to final line must be able to rank the top five, I am not good at sprint, generally do leading the sprint. In most cases, I lead a speed less than 70km/h, occasionally in altitude training can barely over 70km/h. Such experience is tense, two legs tending to explode, without caring the sweat in the helmet and wind passing the ears, quickly looked up if our sprinter can sprint to victory (in parenthesis if one says the same conditions can casually on the 70km/h, you are welcome to our team, and I would like to break the wind for you and offer an annual salary of ^_^).
There is a common slope speed to over 70km/h, in general, the slope of about six degree or so, a few feet on the pedal can be onto the 70km/h. If the slope of the ride is at 10 degree, you just have to keep the flow of the position and can be close to 80km/h. And during the game, in general, the experience is,
Fuck,so easy, 70km/h, ah, ah ah ah,
Already 80km/h, and the front dragged it, and quickly add a few feet to catch up,
There’s a rush in the front. I have to brake a little,
So many gravels on the road? I have to be careful, not to break the tire.
Why? As if only no more than 60km/h, and quickly relax shaking legs and drinking some water,
Although with glasses, I will consciously squint eyes, to protect the eyes.
Of course, the professional guy can also has experienced to fail. In 2013 ,South Korea, because of too fast speed on the slope and bad control, I rub directly to the curb, having af few rolls in the air and on the ground, but the result is ten stitches on the eyebrow bones, clavicle fractures, a large area of bruises on back of leg, so you are not recommended to do unsure things, like this.
A simple talk about site cycling, this is the main event of mine, because in a closed environment, almost no wind effect, and specific architectural style site, plus or minus can be installed with closed wheels, so most of the riders can ride to more than 70km/h, then I say on the site riding at more than 70km/h is a casual thing. Do you believe it?
