TSY, I’d have been able to tell you if you rode toes down, but I was overwhelmed by the sight of you in your pink see through lyrca and looking at your feet was the last thing on my mind my eyes were fixed on my front wheel all the time instead. 😀
Interesting thoughts on here, I was curious as I’ve spent a lot of time working on my cadence this summer and watching how others ride. Those I’ve seen ankling have tended to be pushing a much harder gear than me on a seated climb.
Druidh, seeing as I know your riding style, when you point your toes downwards, are you still pushing a bigger gear for short/sharp climbs (the ones I’d spin up and you’d ‘stomp’ up?) and how much of an angle do you take it to? Can’t say i’ve ever noticed you ankling – I must pay more attention to your feet instead of wheel sitting 😆
