cadence

Cadence refers to the pedaling frequency of a cyclist, i.e., how many times a cyclist completes a full rotation of the pedals per minute. It is measured in revolutions per minute (rpm). A high cadence means that the pedals are moved quickly but with comparatively little force; a low cadence, on the other hand, is associated with greater force being used while pedaling more slowly.

Many experienced cyclists aim for an optimal cadence between 80 and 100 rpm, as this protects the musculoskeletal system, allows muscles to work more efficiently, and improves endurance performance. However, the correct cadence depends on training status, the terrain (e.g., incline), the type of bike ( road bike, mountain bike, e-bike), and personal preference.

Some modern bike computers or e-bike displays show the current cadence in real time – it is an important parameter in training and for improving efficiency on the bike.

    Fat bikes are polarizing: Hardly any other bicycle divides opinions as much as models with wide tires. Critics often cite rolling resistance, weight, or aerodynamics, deeming fat bikes inefficient. But a closer look quickly reveals that fat bikes are not just show bikes, but versatile, high-performance all-rounders.

    Fahrrad aufsteigen und absteigen: Links oder rechts – so geht's sicher

    Aufsteigen, losfahren, anhalten, absteigen – das passiert bei jeder Fahrt mehrmals und läuft bei den meisten völlig automatisch. Trotzdem sind genau diese Sekunden die wackeligsten Momente auf dem Rad: Du bist langsam, stehst oft nur auf einem Bein und hast das Gewicht des Rades seitlich neben Dir. Wer die passende Technik für seinen Rahmen kennt, steigt entspannter auf, fährt ohne Schlingern an und kommt auch mit einem schweren E-Bike sicher wieder zum Stehen.
