What is Cadence?

When cyclists talk about cadence they are referring to the number of revolutions that they crank makes each minute as the pedals are turned. This in laymans terms simply is the speed at which the cyclist pedals or turns the pedals on the bike as they ride.

Most cyclists will have a certain cadence speed which they feel comfortable with when they are out riding. Today a lot of bicycles come with a large number of gears so it makes it possible for a cyclist to stick to a cadence that they prefer through a wide range of different speeds at which they are traveling. Normally a typical cyclist will look at having a cadence of between 60 and 80 revs per minute (rpm), whilst professional (racing) cyclists will look at theirs being between 80 and 120 rpm. However sprint cyclists will normally be able to manage 170 rpm for very short distances. Lance Armstrong one of the worlds well known professional cyclists is able to produce a cadence of 120 rpm.

However there are many cyclists that believe one form of cadence is much more efficient than another. but the actual cadence that is preferred by each rider is completely different. Yet with racing cyclists the differences in their preferred cadences are very small compared to those people who just enjoy cycling for pleasure rather than as a competitive sport.

What is important to note that each cyclist will have his own particular range of cadences that he prefers and are much smaller than the general ranges which have been previously listed above? but what their preferred cadences are will actually influence the number as well as the range of gears that they have on their bicycle and which they feel are appropriate for the conditions in which they ride.

Today there are many companys who produce devices for measuring the cadence on a persons bicycle such as the Vetta V100 wireless cadence kit. These small computers are mounted on to the handlebars of the users bicycle and then a small magnet is placed close to the pedal sprocket. Then as the rider is out cycling or competing in a race they will see on the small computer screen (which is mounted to the handlebars) displays their cadence information.
