What approach to gears and so on gives the maximum speed for the least sweat?
Cycling at lunchtime today, I settled on sub-60 cadence as much as possible, not hesitating to change down rather than push too hard, and freewheeling for periods on the flat and definitely downhill (not that there's much of that around here) but I still need to get from A to B in reasonable time to get to appointments and so on, so is that as fast as one can go without generating too much heat?
