Bike cadence refers to the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) that a cyclist’s pedals make. It is an essential metric for understanding how efficiently you are pedaling and can significantly impact your speed and endurance.
Speed, on the other hand, is the distance traveled per unit of time. In cycling, it is typically measured in kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). The relationship between cadence and speed can be expressed using the formula:
Cadence = RPM
Wheel Circumference = Distance covered in one wheel revolution (in km or miles)
Understanding and optimizing your cadence can help you maintain a consistent speed, reduce fatigue, and improve overall cycling performance.
