Eurobeats
Ever wondered what songs your favorite pros are pumping in their earphones when they are warming up for a time trial or a 'cross race on the trainer? You can bet they are listening to some good Eurobeats, more commonly known as trance or progressive house.

The Art of Descending
So you think climbing is hard? Wait 'til you come down. It is intimidating to come down a hill on a pair of tires that are no more than an inch wide, but once you get the hang of it, descending is one of the most enjoyable parts of riding. Here are some good (and stylish) positions to get into while descending (especially for photo opportunities):
 |
| Low in the front, high in the back, and hands on the tops to decrease frontal area. |
 |
| Essentially the same as above, but sitting on the top tube to put more weight in the front and close the chest area even more. |
 |
| Long and low and in the drops whilst turning. |
These are precarious positions to be in and only do it if you're comfortable! Style is important but safety always comes first.
