Use suspension and damping

6.20.1 Locking the suspension

A suspension system is designed to cushion and
compensate for unevenness on a surface whether
the user is riding on bumpy cycle paths, dirt roads
or off road.
A suspension system absorbs a great deal of
motor and muscle power during rides uphill or on
optimally tarmacked roads. This increases energy
consumption and reduces propulsion. It is thus a
good idea to lock the suspension on tarmacked
roads and when riding uphill.
