Active Expert: Gale Bernhardt : Tags : cycling

In my ongoing series of looking back at old issues of Triathlete magazine, I found a column on this new technology called “The Seat Leash”. It provided leverage by keeping the cyclist from sliding backwards on the seat. Apparently the Italians used a similar design at World Championships for cycling.

(February 1988)

I believe the technology was nixed because the governing body for Cycling, UCI, deemed it an unfair advantage and triathlon followed suit. Anyone with more information on that ruling?

Current Events

Posted by Gale Bernhardt Jun 14, 2007

Welcome to my blog. Many of you may be familiar with my columns or training plans on the Active Network. Those tools will continue to exist.

What you will see in the blog is a variety of current-event oriented topics. That means a mix of my personal adventures, training information I find useful for the athletes I coach, answers about how to modify pre-built triathlon training plans or cycling training plans to meet personal needs, advanced-athlete topics and more.

I look forward to traveling the blog journey with you.
