Traffic-free super highways of Toronto are going to be hit by 13000 people on June 16 for heart and stroke Foundation's Ride for heart. Distances of 25k, 50k and 75k will be covered by them. There are also some tips which will help them to stay relaxed, pedal efficiency and avoid injuries.

For recreational riders shoulder angle should be slightly less than 90° and trunk angle should be between 40° and 80° and for road cyclists shoulder angle slightly greater than 90° and trunk angle should be between
30° and 40° for road cyclists.

Conventionally, experts have suggested adjusting your seat height to obtain a knee angle of 25 to 35° when the pedal is at its lowest point. This range minimizes the risk of knee problems and maximizes power. Your seat must be in level, tilting it up and down can cause discomfort.

By practicing long rides one can actually prepare himself for long bike ride. Fortunately, according to study published by Jonathan Little, Martin Gibala and their colleagues at McMaster University found that one can cram many of the benefits of long rides into shorter, more intense sessions as they have found significant improvement in a one-hour cycling trial after just two weeks of the regime.

Warm up with three minutes of easy pedaling. Pedal hard for 60 seconds, then rest for 75 seconds; repeat eight to 12 times. Do this work out three times a week. Cyclists are commonly advised to aim for 70 to 80 revolutions per minute. Pushing harder gears at a lower cadence relies more on muscular strength.
