back peddling ?

[peelywally]

i was reading an article about endurance in it it described how when your resting its good to spin the legs to stop lactic acid building up ,

got me thinking that when out on rides over 50 miles it might be an idea to pull over next to a wall or similar and instead of getting off bike spend a few minutes back peddling ,

any thought ?

a quiet and remote spot would be required then

While it is good to spin out the lactic acid every now and then you don't have to stop and pedal backwards to to do.

Just drop to a lower gear and spin forward.

It is easier to get off your bike to peddle. Although some peddlers do pedal to peddle and could also be described as pedallers - or pedalling pedlars - the traditional French onion seller for example - though I don't thihk they usually back-pedal whilst peddling.
