• Why coaching is better than any upgrade you can buy for your bike

  After spending one morning with a professional mountain bike coach, Rob thinks it’s the best thing you can do to improve your riding. In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, Tom and Rob discuss coaching, why Rob got it, what the process it involves and why he thinks it’s such a solid investment. They also talk about how much you can expect to pay for coaching and where you’re likely to find it.
