Cycling is fairly unique as far as endurance sports go in that it isn't a steady effort but thousands of tiny hard effort that get you to the finish line. With the advent of power meters we are able to see that a graph of rides that seem to be steady look like the EKG ready of a speed junky. The following workouts improve your ability to put out steady power and increase the number of harder efforts you can do on a ride without fatiguing.

When you read the bike magazines or surf the web, every company is telling your that their gadget is the one that is going to unleash your inner tour winner.

Full suspension mountain bikes are the choice of more than half of the people buying mountain bikes today.  They make climbing easier in rough terrain because the rear wheel stays in contact with the ground for better traction, more than on a hardtail which gets bounced around.  Descending on rocky terrain is better too, because instead of having to "pick a line" through obstacles, the suspension soaks up the bumps and keeps the wheels in contact with the ground.

"Hardtail" means a bicycle with front suspension only.  Mountain bikes started out fully rigid, and when suspension forks came into the picture, the ride immediately got much smoother and nicer, and mountain biking saw a huge surge in popularity.  Hardtail bikes are lightweight, fast and efficient, and far less maintenance than full-suspension bikes.
