Teach Yourself to Pedal at a Higher Cadence
Incorporate this simple cadence drill into your warm up and cool down for every ride.
- Warm up for 5 minutes at a natural comfortable pedal rpm
- Increase your pedal rpm to a point where it becomes uncomfortable, but don’t pedal so fast that your cadence is choppy or you bounce on the saddle. For most riders this is about 10-15 rpm faster that normal
- Maintain for 2 – 3 minutes
- Repeat a few times then go about your normal ride
