GCN suggests some tips to make you - and your bike - more aerodynamic.

You don't have to be a time trial or triathlon rider to want to improve your aerodynamic efficiency. We start with the perennial hot-topic - to shave or not to shave your legs? There's no evidence either way, but we are very clear on the fashion ramifications.
We also bust some of the myths surrounding equipment. Like did you know that all the advantages of your aero wheels can be completely undone - and more - by your standard helmet? Or that not wearing gloves saves watts? And have you thought about where to put your water bottle?
Finally, we give some quick tips on aero body position, maybe it's quicker to ride on the brake hoods than the drops?
Take on some of these tips, and you could find yourself going faster for no extra effort.
