I ride like a cholo…elbows out, side to side….

Ok kids here’s a little riding tip that I can’t seem to stress enough…ELBOWS OUT.

Here’s a perfect example of Art riding with his elbows out.
Elbows out

This is applicable when you’re climbing up a hill.

It works even better if you’re the driver of a tandem. You need the widest bars you can find and keep those elbows out for the best control position possible.

If you don’t believe me, try it out yourself. The next time you’re out on your mountain bike, try keeping your elbows in as you descend a technical section. After you pick yourself up from your crash, go back up the hill and try it with your elbows out. You’ll feel the difference right away.
