The stretch that everyone does before or after a workout, and the one that is most often done wrong. By no means should you pull your foot as if you wanted to quickly take off your cycling shoes. Do it smoothly, pushing forward with your hips. If you find it hard to keep your balance, lean against a wall, a street post, a tree or any other stable object. Be careful when doing it on the bike because if you can't keep your balance you risk falling off the bike while you’re not even moving. The quadriceps is the largest muscle in the entire body and is involved in most of our fundamental movements. In cycling it is the source of a large portion of our strength, along with the gluteus and calf muscles. Therefore we must know how to treat it and take good care of it by stretching it properly.
