"name": "Why is cleaning my bike chain crucial for cycling speed?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "A clean bike chain reduces friction and allows you to pedal more efficiently.A dirty or rusty chain can rob you of watts with each pedal stroke, slowing you down. Regular cleaning and proper lubrication are essential."

{
"@type": "question",
"name": "how does tire pressure affect my cycling speed?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Maintaining the correct tire pressure is crucial for optimal cycling speed. Both too-low and too-high pressure can negatively impact your performance. Use online calculators from reputable sources like Silca, SRAM, or Wolf Tooth to determine the best pressure for your tires and riding conditions."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "What role does cornering technique play in increasing cycling speed?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Improving your cornering technique can significantly increase your cycling speed. Learning when to brake and how to carry momentum through turns helps you maintain speed and reduces the amount of power needed to accelerate after each turn. Practice in a safe, open area to refine these skills."
