Step 1
Get into an aerodynamic position. If you are on a road bike, put your hands on the drops or on top of the bar near the stem. On a mountain bike, bring your arms in. Scoot back on the saddle and lower your head.
-
Step 2
Push a bigger gear. Spinning isn't very effective in a head wind. Drop your cadence a bit and focus on smooth power.
-
Step 3
Ride with another cyclist and take turns pulling at the front. When you're behind another rider, you'll do about 20 percent less work.
-
Step 4
Smile. A head wind now means a tailwind on the way back.
