Performance in cycling events is strongly dependent on aerodynamic drag due to the high proportion of resistance that it contributes. The drag of individual cyclists has been shown to vary with riding posture and the drag of cyclists travelling in close proximity will vary as a function of separation distance. However, the influence of riding posture and the interplay between cyclists in a team is...
The aerodynamic drag of a cyclist mannequin is measured in a ¾ open jet wind tunnel. The mannequin leg position is systematically varied over a complete crank cycle and aerodynamic drag measurements are taken every 15 degrees. The results show that rider aerodynamic drag is strongly affected by leg position with a difference between the maximum and minimum drag coefficients measured over a pedal cycle...
