Do you try to be faster cyclist?

[Shawn Gossman]

Do you continue to work on being a faster cyclist?

Aside from racing, what would be the reasons for being a faster cyclist?

Are you getting successful at getting faster? What tactics have you used to get faster at cycling?

What would you recommend to a new cyclist wanting to work on their speed?

I'm always working on being a faster cyclist. It allows you to go further in the same time frame, and thus allowing you to see more.

During races I have 2 mantras:

"Slow is smooth, smooth is fast"
and
"you're only losing if you stop pedaling"

That is the best way a new cyclist can get faster is to never stop pedaling. It's hard mentally, but once you push past that barrier, you're in a good spot.
