Basically what the title says. I've read so many different things about stretching. It helps prevent injuries, it doesn't prevent injuries. Flexibility is good, flexibility can be bad. It helps performance, it hurts performance. It helps soreness, it doesn't. Etc.
I stretch currently, but mostly out of habit and tradition. About 10 minutes after a ride. Hamstrings, quads, calves, feet, achilles, back, hip flexors, groin.
Doing it mostly to increase flexibility and because I feel like it helps reduce my soreness (whether it does or not).
Do you guys do it? Do you think it helps? Is it more superstition and tradition? When/what do you stretch and why?
