I've been told by the bikers here that the arrangement of the handles to top tube to bike seat to bottom bracket in specific proportions to each other is a top priority including the angle of the seat which is depending on speed riding or long distance riding.

My conclusion is that this will determine that the rider is either pushing the pedals forward or pushing the pedals downward. It depends on the rider, I guess, and it depends on those proportions described above, I guess.

Are some riders pulling the pedal backward with the hamstrings on the under path of the pedal? Or just relaxing that leg on the pedal that's in the under path.

Maybe some riders are pushing, pulling, and lifting the pedal engaged 100% around.

And then of course...........would some be riding without any hands?

That would explain a lot. Thanks



I realize the "subject/predicate" construct of the depictions here are a little big challenging. I'll block if this thread is hijacked about that to deter from the thread topic.
