Is aerodynamics important when riding a mountain bike? This week I sit down with Deputy Head of Aerodynamics for McLaren F1, Tony Salter, to find out. We chat a bit about Tony's background in riding and engineering. We cover the fundamentals of aerodynamics to help give you a better understanding of how it works, and then chat about what could be done to improve our aerodynamics as riders, and what benefits that might provide.
