    Ankling means pumping your toes up and down in sync with your pedal stroke. It was popular in the 70s. People understand now that it's inefficient and hard on your calves and Achilles. I pretty much have to do it when my crankarms are too long, also.

    Proprioception - yeah, the sense that tells each part of your body where the other parts are. One of the exercises I've been slacking off on is simply standing on one leg with my eyes closed on an unstable surface.
