🚴♂️ How far do I go per pedal rotation?
Let’s calculate the distance per pedal rotation in the highest gear of this bike:
– Speed = 22.4 km/h
– Cadence = 41 1/min (rpm)
Using Calcumber, it is a one-liner — but you can solve it by hand or by using any calculator.

🛠 Personal story:
I started investigating this after noticing my bike’s highest gear felt off — turns out, it really was getting lower over time.
The photo shows a replacement bike I used during repairs.
Measuring speed and cadence gave me insight into how much distance I actually cover with each pedal stroke.
