Leg injuries from youth cycling?

Today I heard that junior races have teeth limits so kids don't hurt their legs. But what if for example a kid is going up a hill on an allowed gear but is on a very tough gear. Is this bad for a child's legs even if it's within the rules?


Answer
Yes, juniors have gear restrictions. In the US the maximum allowed gear development is 26 feet (the bike can go no further than 26 feet in one full turn of the cranks; gear inches are not used for the rule), though, watch for the change to 16 year olds and under coming in 2010.

The reasoning for this rule is based on myth and tradition more than fact. People often claim that using a really big gear will ruin your knees and may have one or two examples of a guy they heard about doing this. Mostly this is myth. Some will claim it helps new riders learn how to race better because it levels the playing field, as opposed the field splinting because everyone just rides as hard as they can. This would be true only with much smaller gear limits than used today. The only real reason to use gear limits is because the Europeans do and when top US juniors race the Europeans they can't win because they aren't used to using small gears. The rule has helped with this.

Regardless of the reason for the rule the reality is that it is inefficient and poor technique to simply turn a huge gear. And as you note the rule doesn't prevent anyone from doing this up a hill. It is simply more effective to be able to spin faster as it is easier and faster to accelerate, and it doesn't demand as much muscular endurance and strength (taxes your muscles less to spin fast but still requires as much cardiovascular effort). So the rule really does nothing to help riders if they don't know why (and practice) using the appropriate cadence in training (90-100 is a good average for juniors).

All of that is to say, I think it's unlikely riders would hurt themselves using a big gear, but they still shouldn't do it. Aside from some limited cases for training, it's a less effective and efficient technique than using an appropriate cadence.

what are really good rap songs that i can blast in my car with good bass?
