The vid isn't really clear as you are riding into shadows and then into the sun but , the second one that you want seems to be what i do when grinding up hill or laying off a little to change gear . The first that she is doing is what i do when its not a problem and I'm gaining speed to sit back down or going for a sprint .
Are you both riding the same set up ? She may well just be finding it easy in a better gear and wondering what you are talking about as her legs don't need to that .

Guess so, I think its more down to balance like countless people have said though. She looks to be using her legs to conciously balance as its not fluid and natural yet.
Any good tips to teach balance? We used to do team training where you ride along side and bump handle bars/ push each other about and other such things but its a bit hard core for her me thinks.

You don't use the phrase "in my opinion" very much, do you Jason?

If she's doing it as per your video (which doesn't look odd) then she is standing.Haha yes yes very good!
Its a necessity to be actually able to stand though, 100miler fully seated is going to hurt
How many miles out of an average 100 would you reckon to be out of the saddle?

The whole premise of this thread is, in my opinion, very silly.
Jason - you are asking your friend to do something she isn't that inclined to do, is inefficient and unnecessary, and are nonetheless concerned that she isn't doing the unnecessary and less efficient thing (seemingly) only you want her to do in a style you approve of.
I just don't get your motives.
What's wrong with just riding with your friend and enjoying the ride and the company? Why are you turning it in to some sort of chain-driven drill?

Edited. Didnt mean to be a twit with you. simply cannot help myself after meeting 400bhp and other such characters.
How am I unprepared if I can change a tube without a lever? Or do you mean something else?
I have never met you so don't claim you have.

In a train? LolActually, so have I
[QUOTE 3070851, member: 9609"]Indeed, I live in a hilly area and have inadequate gears, so you would either get good at standing or get sick of getting off and pushing.............[/QUOTE]...........or you would change your cassette such that you didn't have inadequate gears. £10 or £15.
Actually, I have a brilliant plan to bring an end to this problem for you. Let your cycling buddy read this thread!!In a train? Lol
Let her see how rude, patronising and insulting (IMO of course) you are, and if she has any self respect at all, the whole point of this thread will be soooooooooo yesterdays problem darling
