Be sure to warm up and stretch every inch of your body before the carbon bike cycling. Of course, riding warm-up is not only fixed in front of the stretch, but also important for relaxed static stretching during and after the carbon bicycle riding.

Therefore, before and during the ride, it is better to stop and move the whole body, relieve psychological tension and pressure, and relax the muscles and muscles.
Static stretching suitable for carbon bicycle activities emphasizes relaxed and comfortable movements, and uses warm-up to reduce sports injury. Usually, bicycle warm-up starts from top to bottom.
