Cycling Aerodynamics account for anywhere between 70 to 90 percent of a cyclist’s effort (when not climbing a steep grade).

Anyone—hardened pro and new rider alike—who is interested in riding faster or further has a vested interest in improving their aerodynamics. It’s that simple. Determining which bicycles, components, and positions are truly the most aerodynamic for you, however, is anything but simple.

Today’s show is about masters rider Dean Phillip's quest for speed, world championships, and a world record. It’s a story about using aero testing to hunt for 2.1 seconds and ultimately adding over 3 mph or 5 km/h of speed (with no increase in power) and finally, it’s about how you can start on a similar aero journey today.
