Time Trialling

Cycling Time Trials is the authoritative body for time trialling in the UK. It has a highly active and forward-looking membership, and this is reflected in its informative and up-to-date website.


We have some pictures of the Lotus Bike, a time-trialling dream designed and crafted by Norfolk's Mike Burrows.

There is also a small section on how to position yourself optimally on the bike.

During my time at the University of East Anglia Cycling Club I collected various results and press clippings, which might still be of interest to someone. A good friend and fellow cyclist, Andy Tyler, also wrote a cracking piece about pushing yourself to the limits in a time trial.
He has also put together some Handy Hints to improve your athletic ability.
