I went for my loop tonight, hitting 22.5 mph again despite my exhaustion
from yestereen.
Anyway, on my way home, I used my GPS watch to figure out some cadence
info.
LOW GEAR
I found that in low gear (29"), it took me about 77 revs to hit a tenth
of a mile, or about 770 revs per mile.
HIGH GEAR
It only took about 47.5 revs to reach .1m. That means about 475 revs
per mile.
I reached 22.5 mph (tho only for a nanosecond).
22.5 mph means 22.5/60 miles per minute, or .375 (or 3/8) miles per
minute. If a mile is 475 revs, then 3/8 of 475 revs per minute is a
cadence of 178.
Are my calcs correct? Did I really hit nearly 180 revs per minute on a
unicycle with a 29" wheel. Jeez. That's a high cadence.
