Climbing Positions (Introduction)
Riders and
coaches have debated for years the pros and cons of sitting vs. standing when
climbing on a road bike.

there are six basic possible positions: The hands may be on the tops, hoods,
or drops of the handlebars while sitting or standing.

comfortable and powerful.
