As a 22mph average cyclist just commuting with very little effort, I admit..

22mph? Piss-poor. I guess the lorry you were holding on to was slowed down by traffic.

Have you tried a 229 gear, may improve the speed.

Can you show me these 25mph rides. There you go getting it wrong again.

i do know of a rider who can do this formerly of CC, with the strava to prove it , forgive our doubts i thought it was you

It's that eBike you've been riding, I reckon........we all know what the E in Derrick stands for.

E bik

If you are doing 22mph at 90 Watts, you must be cycling whilst free fall parachuting.

@Racing roadkill , as a matter of interest, any idea of what sort of ball-park wattage would be needed to propel a rider and flat-bar bike on road tyres, at a steady 14 mph with a combined rider & bike weight of 16 stone or 102 kg?

About 80 watts according to this calculator.

at that weight you’d probably need a 180-200 Watt average I’d think, if it was a flat route and there was no wind.

That probably explains why I'm not a very fast rider then!

i know strava is way out but as a guesstimate it gave me 170 watt avg 18.3avg 64 miles , im 69 kg and the bikes 8.5 kg

 

[Pumpkin the robot]

I found the strava estimation to be about 50 watts down when I fitted a power meter.

Am only 67. When i get old the E bike will be a must have. But at the moment i will stick with the Cervelo.
