An easy way to significantly increase power and performance while bicycling is to increase the flexibility of key muscles and joints. Stretching for cyclists seems like a waste of time, but more and more elite level cyclists and cycling coaches are employing flexibility programs to gain valuable performance on the bike. Knowing which stretching exercises to perform can be confusing, however, but the targeted stretching program at http://www.stretchingforcyclists.com is quick, easy, and can demonstrate significant performance benefits after a few short weeks. Additionally, many cyclists are plagued by knee, back, and shoulder pain and this stretching program, although not a substitute for an examination by a physician, can be a useful adjunct in helping relieve joint pain that is related to inflexibility.

The stretching for cyclists program available on the site is also complemented by two free programs, a Dynamic Flexibility Stretching Program available at http://www.stretchingforcyclists.com/dynamic-stretching and a Massage Roller (Foam Roller) Stretching Program available at http://www.stretchingforcyclists.com/massage-roller both great programs themselves. These programs, like the stretching for cyclists program, use time-honored stretching tools and techniques—dynamic flexibility and foam rollers—to form the foundation of excellent flexibility for any athletes, especially bicyclists.

These flexibility programs have been composed by fitness professionals and are used by the founder of Stretching For Cyclists, Dr. George Smolinski, a sports medicine physician. Using these same stretching techniques, Dr. Smolinski was able to overcome his own knee pain, increase his on-the-bike performance, and medaled in his local mountain bike race series. Using these techniques can be helpful amateur and professional cyclists alike to cycle faster, farther, and in less pain, and bring home some hardware.
