What Is a Good Average Cadence for Cycling?
When it comes to cycling, there’s a lot to learn. When I first started, I was overwhelmed with information from fellow riders about how I could improve and what they thought was right and wrong. Surprisingly, a lot of the information I got was excellent, but some couldn’t have been more wrong.
One subject that came up a lot was cadence. Some cyclists told me I needed to have a high cadence, while others said low was much better. A decade on, after hundreds of thousands of miles on the bike, sport and fitness qualifications, and lots of time with cycling experts, I now have a much better idea of the correct answer.
