Cycling and weight loss: how to optimize your rides

Research and field experience show trends: Economic cyclists (endurance): 80-90 rpm. Preserves muscles over long distances. Climbers: 75-85 rpm uphill. Too high a cadence on a climb increases oxygen consumption. Sprinters: 100-130 rpm for short, maximum... Read more...
