Learn. Teach. Ride.

Mountain biking is so rad! And the better you get, the radder it gets!

Hi, my name is Lee, and I like bikes.

I've dedicated the past 40 years to learning to ride mountain bikes at the highest level I can, and the past 23 to helping others do the same.

So far I've written 11 books, published thousands of articles, gotten millions of views, trained more than 11,000 students and trained 2,000 volunteer coaches.

The RideLogic systems for bike fit and skills instruction come from my tireless obsession. They are simple, powerful, easy to learn and easy to teach.

"Lee is the smartest person I've ever known. Some pros (in all sports) will tell you to just 'do it like me,' whereas Lee spends enormous time analyzing everything, down to the most detailed physics involved in each action. His methods are the best because he just thinks on a whole different level than anyone. If you want to get better, learn from the Master."

My hopes for you

As a rider

I want you to have more fun on your bike. More confidence. More safety. More air. More speed. However you define fun, I want you to have it. Remember: As long as you’re learning, you’re having fun.

Apply the 80/20 principle. As I get better at teaching, I teach fewer and fewer skills. Rather than describe a random assortment of tricks, RideLogic focuses on the core skills that help real people ride better: the essential movement patterns that you can improve, combine and apply almost everywhere you ride. You’ll be amazed at how simple great riding can be.

As few steps as possible. When I started teaching, I had a long list of drills and things I wanted students to do. This was fun, and it made me feel smart, but on hindsight it wasn't very effective for learning. Now that I've taught many thousands of riders, I know how people learn ... and I understand that less is more. I teach the minimum number of skills and drills to get the job done. This means you practice less and shred more.

Use this medium to its full benefit. While an in-person class is probably ultimate way to learn, the Web is a powerful medium. It can provide context and permanence like a book, but you can bring it most everywhere, and it includes animations and videos. I can improve it over time, and it’s interactive:

Give you a solid skills base. All great riding is built from the bottom up. This site focuses on the essential, universal skills that help all kinds of riders on all kinds of terrain. We start at the bottom of the skills tree and work our way into the branches. 

Lay out the path to mastery. The way I understand and teach riding skills, there are no magic tricks at the top of the skills tree. As you improve your core skills, you learn to execute them with more precision and power, and to combine them in interesting ways. In this sense, riding is like painting. Once you master the primary colors (aka movements), you can make any color you want. 

As a coach

Give you a simple approach to your coaching practice. RideLogic is elegant, easy to understand and simple to teach. Riders enjoy immediate, true improvement rather than a confusing set of drills. As you master the core skills as a rider and teacher, you can teach them at higher and higher levels.

Help riders with bike fit and setup. Riders can't ride well unless their bikes fit well.

Add to your mastery. If you are a true coach, you are also a lifelong student. Feel free to use RideLogic along with whatever other methods you enjoy using.

Continuing education credits. Useful for NICA and other coaching groups.

Support your business via an easily accessible training platform. Get your Tier 1 certification by studying these courses wherever you are, on your own time. After some practice, come back for Tier 2, which includes your demonstrations and teaching.

Have fun!

Lee
