A few months ago I purchased my first road bike and am really started to get into it. In order to reduce the gradient of my learning curve, I am hoping some of the more experienced cyclists on here could help me with a few things.
- Should I pedaling constantly or pedaling and then coating? What sort of cadence is ideal?
- What sort of speed should i aim for to enter some amateur races? (I am a long way off at the moment (averaging 15mph))
- Now the nights are drawing in, what is the consensus on night riding? Is it better off leaving it to the weekends for the winter or risk fixing a puncture in the dark from not seeing a crack in the road.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
