It’s a great way to get dialed in on the most efficient cadence for you, and to practice at the high and low ends of the rpm spectrum, says Bradeley. Bradeley prefers to train high cadence indoors.

4-Week Endurance Cycling Plan “Building endurance is all about time in the saddle,” says Burke—think rides lasting 60 minutes or longer at low intensities. If your goal is to improve ...
Cycling tends to feel more comfortable if nearly all gear changes have more or less the same percentage difference. [5] For example, a change from a 13-tooth sprocket to a 15-tooth sprocket (15.4%) feels very similar to a change from a 20-tooth sprocket to a 23-tooth sprocket (15%), even though the latter has a larger absolute difference.
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".
A cycling club or cycling organisation is a society for cyclists. Clubs tend to be mostly local, and can be general or specialised. They can focus on cycle racing and/or cycling as a means of transport (utility cycling). In the United Kingdom, for example, the Cyclists' Touring Club, (CTC) is a national cycling association; the Tricycle ...
Follow these easy expert-backed cycling form hacks to becoming a faster rider with less effort.
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).
