Are fixed gear bicycles best for cadence training?
As an avid bicyclist and runner for many years, I recently got a fixed gear bike together from a few bikes that were laying around. The bicycling lifestyle looks really appealing to me more than ever and I want to save up for a decent, lightweight road bike with all the bells and whistles.I haven't biked for a few months now and I am wondering if you think fixed gear bikes are good for cadence. This being my first fixed gear bike, I found it fascinating that I have to pedal constantly or fall off. I just came from a 40 mile round trip and my legs feel awesome. I run a 40x16 ratio for now and surprisingly I am really fast on this gear. I feel this ratio is best for hills and that I can go faster but I have this ratio for now willing to work my way up to 14 then eventually 11 in the back. I have the logic in my head that it does do wonders for your cadence but something tells me to ask someone that would know. Thank you all in advance!
you have one efficient cadence range so with a fix gear you have one gear effcient speed/cadence. the plus with fix gear is you can train your cadence to go up with over spinning, but you'd have to find a lot of hills to go down. and yes it will help smooth pedal strokes. but too much overspinning can be hard on the knees.
