Abstract

Forces that the rider applies to the pedals, saddle and handlebars during speeding, till climbing and starting are estimated from cine film records using elementary mechanics. Results are compared with force measurements obtained from an instrumented pedal. Pedal forces of up to three times bodyweight were recorded during starting. Handlebars loads were always significantly large.
