Stretching is important for cyclists because it helps maintain flexibility, improves joint range of motion, and reduces the muscle tightness that builds up from repetitive pedalling motion. Cycling places the body in a fixed position for long periods, which can cause imbalances such as shortened hip flexors, tight hamstrings, and a rounded upper back. Regular stretching counteracts these effects, supporting better posture on the bike, enhancing power transfer, and lowering injury risk by keeping muscles and connective tissues supple. It also aids recovery by increasing blood flow to fatigued areas, helping cyclists feel fresher for their next ride.
