Yhteispidolla

Yhteispidolla, also known as "shared pedaling" or "coasting," is a technique used in cycling where two or more cyclists ride in close proximity, with one cyclist pedaling while the others coast. This technique is often employed in group rides, time trials, and training sessions to conserve energy and maintain a steady pace. The cyclist who is pedaling is typically referred to as the "driver," while the others are known as "drafting" or "slipping" cyclists. The drafting cyclists benefit from reduced wind resistance and aerodynamic advantages, allowing them to conserve energy and maintain a higher speed with less effort. This technique is particularly useful in long-distance rides and races, where conserving energy is crucial for maintaining performance and avoiding fatigue. Yhteispidolla is a fundamental aspect of cycling strategy and teamwork, enabling cyclists to work together to achieve their goals efficiently.
