When the driving technique god came to Aargau

Tom Öhler is a former trials world champion and world record holder in the 400 meter hurdles. On the bike, of course. But he can also work with mere mortals. "Key service" is what he calls it when he helps recreational bikers to better master their key points. Yannick from Aargau received a visit from the Austrian and spent an instructive day with the exceptional athlete.

Tom Oehler stands for superlatives when it comes to riding technique. There's no such thing as unrideable anyway, but the former trials world champion rides even the most blocked hairpin bends with flow. With his "key service", he visits bikers who have shown him their key section in a video and explains what their problem is. There were a few really tough spots, but also unspectacular ones such as the outward-hanging bend somewhere in a forest in Aargau, where Yannick always lost speed and flow. Even in the video, it's hard to see what's so difficult about it, but Oehler still thought the key section was worth a trip and a video, which makes the modest former world champion even more likeable.
