Ok, so I have been lurking for a few weeks now. A couple weeks ago I bought a Specialized Vita Comp hybrid . I love it! I am hoping it will help me lose some weight. I have about 50 lbs to lose. My question is about cadence/speed/ and distance. I average about 15-20 a ride everyday or every other day. I usually average about 15/16mph, but feel my cadence could be better. It is only around 65/70. When I am really pushing into the wind its even worse.
My questions are:
Whats you average speed for a 20 mile ride?
Do you pay attention to cadence?
Do you think my speed will improve if I lose weight?
