- Keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed.
- Bend your elbows slightly and keep your arms and hands loose.
- Engage your core muscles to support your upper body.
- Adjust your saddle height and position to ensure proper leg extension and alignment.
- Maintain a neutral spine position by avoiding excessive leaning forward or arching your back.
- Take breaks to stretch and change positions periodically during long rides.
