WORLD ON WHEELS On Trend These once niche cycling segments have exploded in recent years as they provide riders an escape from traffic-heavy roads and a chance to get into deep nature. Bikepacking WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT’S HOT It’s all about escaping the crowds and immersing yourself in nature. This style of bike touring combines mountain biking with backpacking. Cyclists ride self-supported, filling bags on their bikes with food, clothes, and camping equipment. THE BIKE Gravel bikes (see right) are some of the most popular models due to their durability and terrain versatility. A rigid mountain bike or hardtail mountain bike provide more comfort and stability on rocky descents. If you’ll only be riding pavement you can get away with a touring bike. Gravel Riding WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT’S HOT Low-traffic gravel routes feel safer to car-weary road cyclists, plus offer more opportunities for exploration since gravel bikes can roll on asphalt, soar on gravel, and tackle lighter single tracks historically reserved for mountain bikes. THE BIKE Imagine a road bike with larger tire clearance and a slightly relaxed geometry for added comfort over long distance. The tire clearance allows you to ride impressively large tires, with some bikes capable of running tires up to 50 mm (a typical road bike tire is 25 mm-30 mm, for reference). WHERE TO TRY IT Wilderness-rich Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada boasts the Tree to Sea Loop, a 647-mile gravel route that links deep fjords, seaside villages, soaring coastal mountains, and lush valleys via a network of forest service roads. Added bonus: coastal campsites and whalewatching opportunities. bikepacking.com WHERE TO TRY IT Gravel Graceland, a three-day intro to gravel adventure in northern Colorado is hosted by professional cyclists Whitney and Zack Allison. Capped at 20 riders, each day covers between 39 and 55 miles and routes include a mix of gravel, pavement, and beginner single-track terrain. bikesportsco.com ISTOCK Gear Obsessions Cyclists are notorious gearheads, spending millions on the newest equipment. If you want to be kitted out like the pros but don’t have time to read all the gear debates and reviews, we’ve got you covered. João Correia, former pro and owner of inGamba cycling tour company, shares his cheat sheet on the latest and greatest equipment you should invest in this season. GIRO ARIES SPHERICAL HELMET Giro’s lightest, coolest, most aerodynamic road helmet to date weighs in at just around 10 ounces. Extra safety features include a unique ball-and-socket design powered by multidirectional impact protection system technology to redirect energy away from the brain in certain impacts. giro.com NIMBL CYCLING SHOES Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Italy, the super-stiff, light-as-air road cycling shoes from this new brand have already earned a loyal following from pros like Belgian racer Greg Van Avermaet. nimbl.cc CASTELLI UNLIMITED GRAVEL CLOTHING Italian brand Castelli recently debuted a collection of high-performance, extra-durable jerseys, bibshorts, gloves, and other apparel designed for cyclists who dabble in both gravel and road riding. castelli-cycling.com COURTESY THE COMPANIES (3) 46 NetJets
SCAPULA WALL SLIDE WHY A great drill to improve shoulder mobility. If your posture needs work, this exercise will take time to perform at its full range of motion, Holden says. HOW Stand against a wall and step your feet out two lengths and slightly bend your knees. Extend your arms above you so the backs of your hands press into the wall. Squeeze the muscles in your mid-back as you slide your arms down until they are just below the shoulders. Your hands, wrists, and elbows should press into the wall the entire time. Hold for one count then slowly raise the arms back up. Repeat 10 times. PRONE COBRA WHY This exercise strengthens the muscles in the back, especially the ones that are weak because of slouching and bending over the front of a bike, Holden says. By forcing the muscles in the back to work you can combat muscle fatigue and improve posture. HOW Lie face down on the floor. Squeeze your glutes and lift your chest off the floor. Turn your palms out and away from your body, thumbs facing up. Squeeze your shoulder blades and tuck your chin. Hold 20 seconds. Lower down. Repeat eight times. Five Exercises To Undo the Cycling Hunch You might assume that the legs would be the first muscles to fatigue on a long ride. But new riders who suddenly tack on extra miles often feel pain in the neck and lower back as a result of being unnaturally hunched over their bikes for long periods of time. A weak core and weak trapezius muscles—the ones that span the upper back, shoulders and neck—are often the cause of the aches, says Mari Holden, a cycling coach and former world champion. She recommends incorporating these exercises into your routine to help avoid injuries and relieve the effects of bike hunch. SHOULDER BLADE SQUEEZE WHY An easy antidote for rounded shoulders. HOW Sit up straight and squeeze shoulder blades together. Hold then release and repeat 10 times. Perform this throughout the day at your work desk to undo desk hunch. SHOULDER DISLOCATIONS WITH BAND WHY Opening up the chest is important after spending so much time in a closed and hunched position, says Holden. This stretch is great for tight chest and shoulder muscles. HOW Hold the ends of a resistance band with each hand in front of your waist with your hands around eight inches wider than shoulder-width and palms facing the floor. Rotate your arms to bring the band up and over your head and down to your lower back then reverse forward. Repeat 10 times. PALMS UP PLANK WHY Placing the palms up forces you to open the chest and focus on the core. HOW Start in a plank pose with forearms flat on the ground. Flip your palms upward. Engage the core and don’t let the hips sag. Hold 10 to 20 seconds. Repeat five times. NetJets 47
