The only upside on that is you can do more training to increase endurance. 👍🏽 my answer still remains the same, biking is still a good way to get to work and it hits two of your concerns. Even if my work/class is somewhere else I would still bike going there. | |

| May 10, 2016 at 6:02 | comment | added | user25126 | @JetWaitforitTorres I'm from Pasay and my class is in Manila. | |

| May 9, 2016 at 14:25 | comment | added | Ealhmund | @Phoenix: I'd have to disagree with you on that; cadence has little to do with power to weight ratio - what you're likely seeing is that many cyclists with higher P/W ratios have adopted higher cadences while training to up their P/W. My team works with a lot of new cyclists and they're able to adopt higher cadences (90+ rpm), even though their P/W is very low. High cadence is effective because it shifts the load from mostly muscular (low cad.) to cardio (high cad.)...and since cardio doesn't fatigue as quickly as muscular, you can absolutely increase your stamina at the same time as cadence. | |

I go to class everyday on my bike, it's just a matter of bringing extra clothes with you and packing it nicely in a backpack. I suggest you watch "How to Pack your bag for work" by Global Cycling Network on YouTube. 👍🏽👍🏽 | |
| May 7, 2016 at 11:31 | comment | added | user25126 | @altomnr I say that they cannot be trained at the same time because cadence is dependent on your power to weight ratio. Most of the time the higher that ratio is, the faster your cadence is. Stamina on the otherhand is a different thing. Stamina is how long you can last pushing at the same power on your bike for long distances, this means you can have a high power to weight ratio, but also be weak in stamina and can only go for only 30 to 40 mins max. | |

| May 2, 2016 at 12:08 | comment | added | kifli | @JetWaitforitTorres do you mean if normal pedals are easier to use ? of course. In case of clippers You just need to get used to them. Just do it on a still place. On your home for example until you learn to put and remove your leg staying still and without looking at the pedals. | |
| May 2, 2016 at 10:55 | comment | added | Jet Waitforit Torres | Hi also forgot that we already loosened the clip tension to it's max. I can easily clip in and clip out my right foot easily. But my left foot seems to be always confused when clipping out. Another question is clipless easier to use or should I stick to the standard? | |
| May 2, 2016 at 9:54 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | Excellent advise loosening the tension on the clip, if possible. To start with, it should be barely firm enough to hold you in while riding. As soon as you get annoyed by it popping out while riding, tighten it a wee bit. | |
| May 2, 2016 at 7:52 | comment | added | Jet Waitforit Torres | Hi @Phoenix, biking to the office is not really a good idea, living in the Philippines. A lot of undisciplined drivers and whatnot. As for clipping, there are times that I can do it easily but then I sometimes panic clip out therefore resulting of me falling down. | |
