Cycling is a sport where the majority of the energy expended is done so to simply negate the laws of physics. 70-90% of any riding effort is spent overcoming aerodynamic drag/wind resistance. This means that the lighter your bicycle, the more aerodynamic it is, the more aerodynamic it’s components, and the more aerodynamic you are – can make a huge difference in energy consumption and endurance. Other factors such as age, conditioning, natural ability, and mental attitude are significant in regards to successfully reaching any given cycling goal. Add other variables such as road conditions, weather, and atmosphere, and tackling a major cycling course on paper may look nearly impossible.
When you can attack an iconic/challenging ride with the best equipment possible you negate some of the difficulties you’d face with inferior gear. The truth is that sometimes the few watts of energy saved per pedal stroke with lighter/more aerodynamic gear are the watts you’ll need to successfully finish a ride.
This being said the best gear is rarely affordable to non-professionals. This is why strategic partnerships with leading tech companies who were willing to sponsor Summit4CAD’s equipment needs was a top priority for Jon when he founded Summit4CAD.
The following companies have shown their commitment to the health and well being of the people who would use their products by embracing Summit4CAD’s Mission, Values, and Vision of a world where CAD isn’t a death sentence.
