Cycling Aerodynamics Explained: How to reduce drag and save watts

Aerodynamic drag is the single largest resistance force acting on a cyclist above 30 km/h. Yet most riders focus on weight, components, or training volume while leaving measurable aerodynamic “aero watt” gains on the table.

FloatAero exists to help performance focused cyclists understand, test, and optimise their aerodynamic riding position and equipment using practical real world methods.

Whether you are a time trialist chasing marginal gains, a triathlete preparing for race day, or a road rider curious about aero efficiency, this is where you’ll learn how drag really works.

Would you like to go faster or further with the same amount of energy and power?

If so, then you need to reduce your aerodynamic drag. And to do that you need to be able to measure your CdA.

FloatAero can help you with that. With over 15 years of experience we know the tricks of the trade and the pitfalls to avoid.

Go to a wind tunnel for two hours and you may come away with an aero position that is unrideable.

Learn how to aero test with FloatAero and you will have the tools to work with yourself to optimise your position for both power and speed.
