In the wonderful world of cycling, there are a lot of known facts. The sad truth on the other hand, there are also a lot of unknown facts. They are also known as myths. Here are a few misconceptions that you may or may not already know:
1) In the word warm-up, the warm part is the most crucial.
Even though its name, doing a warm-up does not really have anything to do with the temperature. As a result, you can avoid blowing on your hands before you start cycling on a cold morning..
2) Aim not to perspire.
It is usually presumed that the lighter or heavier your weight, an intense workout will help you perspire. The truth is, the fitter you are, the more your body will sweat.
3) Tougher is better
In the University of Texas, they researched if using rock-hard wheels really make any difference in cycling. As a result, they inquired seven cyclists to bike at top speed. On top of that, they are to cycle on a four percent inclination for 4 times using different tire pressures. They found out that physiologically speaking, the tire pressure is too small to be identified.
4) Dehydration will lower your cycling performance.
There were no direct studies in dehydration and poor performance. However, re-hydration will keep your body cool.
5) Using a wedge is necessary when you have an injured hip, leg or foot.
The problem may not be on the parts of the bodies mentioned earlier; it may be on your pelvis.
6) Lactic acid is the phantom of pain.
The pain that you are actually feeling is due to your stimulating muscles.
7) When you eat, you cheat.
It is a simple formula. When you eat through exercise you will definitely burn them.
8) Having a hair free leg can move freely in the air.
There were no studies to prove this.
9) Having body fats is bad.
Too much fat on our bodies is not good. However, fats helps our body preserve our energy and mend tissues.
10) When traveling, cycling is the most hazardous.
Statistically speaking, there are more deaths when travelling by motorcycle and walking than cycling.
11) It is better to cycle without a helmet.
Wearing a helmet can definitely help prevent you from having minor to even major injuries.
12) Cyclists are negligent troublemakers who always beat the red light.
Truthfully, only a few bikers are reckless when cycling on the road.
13) As much as possible, cyclists should be on the right of the road.
The closer you are, you are at risk of parked car drivers who may be opening their doors.
14) It is troubling to cycle with a basket or a knapsack.
15) It is a must for cyclists to use bike lights so they can see the roadway sharply during nigh time.
16) You have to wear fancy outfits in order to cycle.
17) You will need quite a distance to cycle.
18) Cycling can be time-consuming.
19) Roads are devised for cars.
20) You will not be able to get a nice bike that is less than a gazillion dollars.
