Tom, you have no idea how helpful this is, i watched the video last year, forgot about it then for some reasoning from watching the TDF, i recognized they were climbing and snatching/tacking the elbows back left right left right...i tried it and it was so much smoother and at that point it was just my legs...whatever you saying about he elbow shit is super important and it all came together for me on that hill yesterday at the Cabrillo in San Diego:)

This is bringing back fond memories from my childhood with the talk of "dancing" on the peddles. You had to stand in order to get started or when going up hills because it was a one-speed and my hometown was kind of hilly everywhere.

Me thinking "All 180 lbs down" from a 5'4 person Gonna lose the weight soon. Thanks for the advice. When i was younger this was the easiest way to climb.

[@davetinoco]

210 for me....5/9.....I have to lose some weight!!!!!

[@mustang19ms]

How did it go guys? looking for inspiration lol

[@cyberbri6899]

I'm a heavier rider(185 and 6 feet tall) but I'm also lean and I love to climb and I stand quite a bit. I think it is kind of like running up a hill and as a runner, I also loved to run hard up hills as well so it's natural for me to stand while climbing.

[@grover9187]

I've done an exhausting search on how to get out of the saddle..but dancing..? Genius 👍🏾 I can dance. I've never heard it described that way. And oddly enough if you're new to cycling standing up at all is pretty scary, dancing is not. I will give it a go on my next ride. Thank you kindly sir!

[@grover9187]

Three months later and I still can't dance on the pedals 🥴

[@carlodabandan3579]

I love climbing out of the saddle, It makes the ride easier than sitting

[@whitefeinberg2081]

Thank you. Very good, I will try tomorrow.

[@inderdeepnatt6096]

Blanca Feinberg could you do it 😂

[@ivanbarrientos2665]

Update ??? How’d it go😂

[@JosueCorella]

I have been looking for a video or a page that talks about what muscles are worked standing vs sitting

[@MoneyMakerRealty]

Pogacar does this really well and it almost looks funny when he is dancing on the pedals but very effective

[@Cookefan59]

My issues with this technique are very frustrating. I can do this easily on my spin bike but for some reason, when I try this on my road bike, my knees tend to over kick and end up in a dead space on the spin and then my knee locks up. I’ve tried going up in gear to increase the resistance like I do on the spin bike but it doesn’t seem to help. I’m 6’3” with a 34” and inseam and weight 248 pounds and I’m thinking this may be part of the problem? I can easily generate over 400 watts standing on the spin bike for over 90 seconds and I’d love to be able to transfer this to the road bike.

[@poutamahobman2229]

Thanks for this. Moving from flat to dropbar I found standing pedaling really difficult

[@poincareconjecture5651]

Lastly how sick was Tim De Clerk he is a huge bike rider those first 3 days being and the front of the Peloton and setting such a furious pace...totally separates the pros vs the rest of us.....that was so freaking amazing to watch and he looked like he was out on a sunday morning ride...the commentators i go back and forth between Anthony and Phil legged but Anthony side kick a former tour rider said that Tim D. can do that all day.....wow! I don't even care about winning anything if i could only do a resemblance of that....my work is done!

This is a skill I have to work on extensively.

[@stephengoh5456]

Fantastic! Love it. Thank you.

[@bradleysuarez3747]

Thank you

[@poincareconjecture5651]

Who are the Riders on the tour with the best technique past and present? I would say Alberto Cantador and Julian Alaphilipe? I also noticed what looks like a power push of the same technique and it looks like the same style on steroids to get over the last part of the hill was really on display by Tom Doumalin when he is doing domestique duties

[@MoneyMakerRealty]

Pogacar is very good at dancing on the pedals. Almost looks funny of it wasent so effective

[@VlasTrunov]

Whatever you mentioned about elbows lacks in illustration. Isn't KZbin a good place to demonstrate the technique you're talking about? Most of the video is just a talk show. Yet, the subject is very essential.

[@joannasalvanou5694]

My fear of falling keeps me from standing. I hope i can get over it some day 😢

Whoa... sorry hope your well! I hope that doesn't happen to me

[@samznomore9598]

I felt like tearing apart my handlebar

[@ammarshahab4330]

I use to do this all the time when I was small kid. But now I am scared to do it again

[@justajoefoe4394]

Is this really tough for y’all? Imo this is really easy but honestly there’s no need to turn doing this it and imo only do it when you want to climb

[@dac518]

I probably shouldnt do this without a helmet

[@dac518]

@Lucasio423 lol ok

[@brystet6642]

Haha do it
