Change is often met with resistance, especially when it comes to ingrained habits in cycling. How do we effectively communicate the need for adaptation to those who seem stuck in their ways? It’s not just about making suggestions; it’s about fostering a mindset shift.
For instance, when someone persists in using overly aggressive techniques, how do we present the concept of finesse without coming off as condescending? Perhaps it’s more about asking questions that lead them to self-reflect, like, “Have you ever considered how your approach affects your overall speed and stamina?”
Also, what if they’re not even aware of how their choices are impacting their performance? Is there value in sharing subtle observations rather than outright critiques? How do we strike that delicate balance between pushing for improvement while respecting their current state? The goal remains: how to help them see beyond nostalgia and embrace a more efficient riding style.
