Bike Speed Calculator

Calculate bike speed from cadence, gear ratio, and power output

About Bike Speed

Bike speed is determined by multiple factors including cadence, gear ratio, power output, and external conditions. Understanding these relationships helps optimize your cycling performance.

Speed Factors:

  • Cadence: Pedaling rate in revolutions per minute
  • Gear Ratio: Relationship between chainring and cassette
  • Power Output: Energy transferred to the pedals
  • External Conditions: Wind, road surface, elevation

Speed Optimization:

  • Maintain optimal cadence (80-100 RPM)
  • Choose appropriate gear ratios for terrain
  • Improve power output through training
  • Minimize aerodynamic drag
  • Consider external conditions
