Which stretches are better to do before and after Cycle rides, Whether they be short or long. I try and stretch but i'm not sure if i'm stretching the correct muscles!
Thanks.
Thanks.
Ahhh oki doki..... Thank youStretch after, not before...shouldn't stretch cold muscles, warm them up by taking it easy for a few miles
Calves, quads, glutes, hamstrings I would try - plenty of info on the interweb

The aim of a pre-ride cool-down is to return the body to the pre-exercise state. IE: as it was before you left the house/work/garage/ wherever.
Yes it should. ThanksHi
Shouldn't that say post-ride cool-down, or am I reading it wrong?
For longher rides i also add stretches for hip flexors .
