Do those people not have gears?  Just came back from a ride with an average cadence of 56 and 23,6 km/h, and doubling those seems insane (though adding 20% wouldn't be bad).<br /><br />Does anybody else have strong opinions about cadence?  Or perhaps <a href="https://westergaard.social/tag/lawn" rel="tag ugc">#lawn</a> care or <a href="https://westergaard.social/tag/couches" rel="tag ugc">#couches</a> or other important topics?]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/f2ddded8-1e4c-4369-8583-02a288d24336/as-i-got-a-new-bike-i-installed-a-new-cadence-sensor-as-i-forgot-to-move-over-the-old-one-when-trading-it-in-and-noticed-they-recommended-a-cadence-of-100-like-wtf</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:56:28 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/f2ddded8-1e4c-4369-8583-02a288d24336.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2026 19:09:23 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to As I got a new #bike, I installed a new #cadence sensor (as I forgot to move over the old one when trading it in), and noticed they recommended a cadence of 100+Like wtf?!? on Wed, 06 May 2026 20:15:24 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[I'm in the Netherlands, so climbing a hill is not really an option <img src="https://board.circlewithadot.net/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=28325c671da" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":)" alt="🙂" />  I've seen some recommendations for sort-of interval training in difference cadence bands.

You could give it a try and measure your times using a high and a low gear e.g. climbing a hill.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://sueden.social/users/taigaland/statuses/116529278924757200</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://sueden.social/users/taigaland/statuses/116529278924757200</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[taigaland@sueden.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2026 19:28:06 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
