Cramp Prevention

Have bike, we will help save the earth...

The cramps of Engr. June asked us to seek solution to prevent cramps.  What are some suggestions to prevent cramps:

l.  Body conditioning.  Many endurance rides.

2.  Plenty of Vit B and Calcium intake.  (for evacuation of lactic acid)

3.  Massage aftet the ride.

4.  Stretching before, during and afer the ride.  We are all familiar with before and after the ride.  How about during the ride.  Well, arch back our back as we sit or stand.  As we pedal, bring your heels lower than you toes.  That will stretch your calf

5.Check your bike seat height.  A cramped pedalling caused by low seat can cause you to cramp your muscles
