Do you get to the point where you don't HAVE to think about it and still maintain good form? /QUOTE]

My personal experience says yes and no. To clarify that: If you concentrate on pedaling form it will become second nature, BUT I have found that eventually I start to get sloppy and I have to go back and review and concentrate all over again. Indoor riding is very beneficial that way. I really work on it all winter and when I get back outside, I start out pedaling with pretty good form. By the end of the season, I have to make sure that I don't let it slip. So I guess what I am saying is that is gets MUCH easier, but don't ever take it for granted, keep on top of it. What do others have to say? What's your experiences with this?
