From a mechanical viewpoint, up to 99% of the mechanical energy delivered by the rider into the pedals is transmitted to the wheels (clean, lubricated new chain at 400 W), although the use of gearing mechanisms reduces this by 1–7% (clean, well-lubricated derailleurs and a straight chainline), 4–12% (chain with 3-speed hubs), or 10–20% (shaft drive with 3-speed hubs).
High Intensity: Cycling at about 14-15.9+ mph, racing or leisure, fast, vigorous effort = 10.0 MET = 682 calories per hour Calories Burned Walking *Based on a one-hour workout for a 150-pound person
The metabolic equivalent of task (MET) is the objective measure of the ratio of the rate at which a person expends energy, relative to the mass of that person, while performing some specific physical activity compared to a reference, currently set by convention at an absolute 3.5 mL of oxygen per kg per minute, which is the energy expended when sitting quietly by a reference individual, chosen ...
Winning Bicycle Racing Illustrated was founded by Belgian journalist and publisher Jean-Claude Garot, who had previously created the weekly newspaper Pour [].Based in Brussels, Winning began as an English-language magazine first and only sold in North America, with its first issue released in July 1983.
The magazine was aware from the start of the danger it perceived cyclists to be in from the growing number of cars [4] and trams. [5] The magazine did not care for insistence that cyclists display a back light, which it felt moved responsibility for avoiding an accident from the overtaking driver to the cyclist being overtaken.
VAM is a parameter used in cycling as a measure of fitness and speed; it is useful for relatively objective comparisons of performances and estimating a rider's power output per kilogram of body mass, which is one of the most important qualities of a cyclist who competes in stage races and other mountainous [citation needed] events.

During ≈15 km uphill cycling on high mountain passes they cycle about 70 r/min. [1] Cyclists choose cadence to minimise muscular fatigue, and not metabolic demand, since oxygen consumption is lower at cadences 60-70 r/min. [2] While fast cadence is also referred to as "spinning", slow cadence is referred to as "mashing" or "grinding".
CyclingPlus is a road cycling sport magazine owned by Immediate Media Company. [1] [2] First published in 1992, [2] there are 13 issues a year. [3]The magazine contains product reviews and reports on rides around the UK, and is reminiscent of Bicycling magazine of the 1970s in the USA.
