Seated climbing
01
a technique in cycling where the cyclist climbs hills or inclines while remaining seated on a bicycle
What is a "seated climbing"?
Seated climbing in cycling is when a rider stays seated on the saddle while climbing a hill or incline. The rider maintains a steady pace by using a combination of leg strength and a smooth pedaling motion. This technique is often used for long climbs or when conserving energy, as it requires less effort than standing. Seated climbing allows the rider to maintain a more efficient rhythm and helps with better endurance throughout the climb.
Examples
Seated climbing allows for better aerodynamics compared to standing.
He maintained a steady pace during the seated climbing portion of the race.
