I have SPD on both my Commuter & Road Bike.

I also run SPDs on all my bikes now since I've figured out I need wedges (I used to run flats on one). The problem with wedges is they raise the cleat and you end up with a similar problem (but probably to a lesser degree) to road shoes on hard smooth surfaces.queequeg wrote:I have SPD on both my Commuter & Road Bike.

A lot of casual cyclist would never push themselves that hard. Being sweaty/smelly at a coffee shop isn't euro-cool.briztoon wrote:62/63bpm at rest.

An average HR in the 160's for all rides is unusual - not necessarily 'bad', but unusual. If someone said to me that their resting was 60 and their average was 164, I would expect that they were fairly new to cycling but were giving it a red hot go every time they chucked a leg over the saddle.
Oh, definitely, there's always some outliers...warthog1 wrote:HR is an individual thing. Cardiac output =hr x stroke volume. A smaller stroke volume means you need a higher hr to get the same output.
I am 43, I use hr and perceived effort to pace my tts. If the hr goes below 180 I know my concentration has lapsed and I need to go harder.
Bloody sparrow sized ventricles
Go on strava and have a look at the hr on segments. Mine is only a little higher than average on most segments where I live and that includes nrs riders ( who are much faster than me).twizzle wrote:

... and get a PM, HR is soooooo yesterday!
No worries - as I said, it's not necessarily 'bad', but it's fairly high compared to 'average'.briztoon wrote:Well I'm still new to cycling, only been riding for about 1 year now. I've always had a high heart rate (since I've had the garmin to have such records) when riding. I'm not a fast rider, though I do push myself on all my rides. I would have thought my riding heart rate would have slowly started to come down, but it hasn't.
