There as been a lot of debate about the appropriate cycling cadence for triathletes. In general, we recommend riding at a cadence between 80-90 RPM at a minimum, preferably over 90 RPM.

I have finished my first season now of triathlons and am anxious to work on my cycling this off-season to help me to compete with my competition. My question though is, is it better to have a high cadence of 100-110 or one between 90-100?

Has anyone ever used Cadence in NYC? I'm a pretty good cyclist and average about 23mph but have never been properly taught to ride. Do you think they could help with positioning, form, etc? Worth the money? Has anyone ever done individual coaching or the classes?

Hi guys, Just wondering if some one can give me some input on cadence. Is there a way of working out the 'best' cadence for you as an individual? Everywhere I read always gives ranges for cadences but surely there must be a scientific method of determining it exactly for your individual body. I do have a power meter fitted so maybe that can be of some use..... Cheers Tim

(New York, NY) The newly opened Cadence Cycling and Multisport Center in Tribeca, New York City and the existing Center in Philadelphia, are expanding their services by bringing on board Trismarter.com, a sports nutrition service.

Focus on doing the drills and improving each week. Eventually you will go out for a run, look down, and see that your pace has improved, your heart rate is lower, and your cadence is over 90 rpm.

There is a great deal of confusion out there, especially among new triathletes, about the role cycling cadence plays in training and racing. What's the difference between high and low cadence? What cadence should I train at and why? What cadence is best for racing, to set up the run?

Lance Armstrong's miraculous comeback from cancer and his domination in both the time trials and the mountains of the Tour de France have inspired many cyclists to imitate his extreme high-cadence style. The world watched Jan Ulrich appear to struggle up the climbs at 80 rpm while Lance rode away from him at 110 rpm.
