If you push a pedal 360 degrees on a cycle how far will it travel and what is the formula?
Depends on the circumference of the driven wheel, and whether there's a gear ratio between the pedals and the wheel.
Let's say you have a 45 tooth chainring and a 15 tooth sprocket - that means that the rear wheel will spin 3 turns for each turn of the pedals.
If you then have a rear wheel with a 2 m circumference, then the bike will travel 6 m for each turn of the pedals.
What is it called to roll down the hill on a bike without pedaling?

Is Yesoul's bike as attractive in quality as it is in price?
Speaking from personal experience, I'd say Yesoul's bike delivers quite well in terms of both quality and price. I actually bought one myself, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Delivery was swift, and setting it up was a breeze. I opted for Yesoul because, let's be honest, Peloton can be a bit on the pricey side for some of us. But with Yesoul, I found a great balance of quality and affordability. Overall, I feel it's been a worthwhile investment.
How do you get a bike out of a hole?
To get a bike out of a hole, you can try lifting the bike out by pulling on the handlebars and rear wheel simultaneously. If the hole is too deep, you may need to ask for help from someone to assist in lifting the bike out. Make sure to check for any damages on the bike before riding it again.

Who is the fastest bicycle rider in the world?
thomas armando
That's really a pointless question unless you specify what type of riding you're asking about - track, road, DH, Time Trial etc.
Even then it's still quite uninteresting, as cyclists mainly race other cyclist. As long as you're the fastest of the pack, the speed as such doesn't really matter.
How fast can motorized bicycles go?
Depends on the engineering skills of the builder, the risks the rider is willing to take, and how legal the bike has to be.
30 mph on the flat is within reach w/o going entirely crazy.
How do you install a bike car rack?
First step is to consult the manual for the specific rack that you want to install. If you do not have access to the manual, you can visit the manufacture's website and typically the site will have copies of the manual in a PDF format. If you can not find the specific product's manual than at least use a manual from a rack that is the closest match. Below are some general guidelines that can help anyone with some tips for installing a rear mount bike rack.
There are many styles of trunk/hatch mount bicycle racks, however, in general they have "legs" that rest on the trunk/hatch surface, straps with metal hooks on the ends that connect to the parameter of the trunk/hatch and "arms" that extend out to support the bicycle or bicycles.
To install the rack, the legs must be positioned apart in a supportive stance. Typically the lower legs rest on the bumper and the upper legs rest on the top of the trunk lid. Went attaching the rack the a more vertical hatch the legs will have to be separated apart more and the upper leg may even rest on the vehicle's rear window.
Once the legs are set to the best position for the particular vehicle, centered from side to side, attach the upper hook and straps to the top of the trunk/hatch, this will keep the rack in place allowing the racks weight to be supported by the upper straps. Next attach the lower straps to the bottom edge of the trunk/hatch. In some cases the lower straps and side straps are one continuous strap with one buckle each. Connect the side straps to the side edge of the truck/hatch and pull the excess strap through the buckle.
With the rack in place and all straps and hooks in place, began to tension up the straps a little each until the straps have even tension and the rack is held snugly in place.
Finally, adjust the arms of the rack to be about 10 degrees greater than level. This will offer the best support for the bicycle.
What is the furthest distance cycled in one day?
There's really no sensible answer to that, there are too many variables:
Just to mention a few.
A strong group of road riders can maintain a rolling average of 40 KMH/25 MPH for 6-8 hours on a fairly flat course, so probably around 800 km/500 miles in 24 hours.

Comfort and practicality are the reason for wearing Lycra clothing that is specifically designed for cycling. You don’t have to wear special clothing to enjoy cycling, but if you wear a cotton tee-shirt for example it will flap around in the wind which is both distracting and annoying after a time.
When the tee-shirt becomes soaking wet with sweat it becomes extremely uncomfortable. Lycra is a stretchy material that if the clothing is the correct size it will fit tight and not flap around in the wind. Also as the rider sweats, the fabric dries immediately in the wind. It keeps the rider warm on a chilly day and cool on a hot day.
Because this fabric dries quickly, the clothing is easy to launder. Just throw the shorts and jersey in a cold wash and they are practically dry when they come out of the spin cycle. They can go in the dryer without any adverse affects, or can be hung up to dry.
Cyclists sometimes wear the team issue jerseys that the pros use, or they may have a club jersey. Either way these are usually brightly colored because the cyclist want to been seen by other road users simply for safety reasons.
Which muscles are used in cycling?
All of the muscles are used in cycling. But there is a premium on the thigh muscles, particularly the quadraceps, the muscles on the tops of the legs. The gluteus muscle group is also very important. It's all about the butt and the legs when on a bicycle. But your upper body also gets a workout at the higher intensities by stabilising your core when on the bike to stop from rocking side to side. Also Biceps shoulders ect.
How do cyclists pee while they're riding?
Men can do it with a little practice. Professional bicycle racers are pretty much forced into learning this if they want to stay with the pack through 6 hours of racing. If gifted with a male anatonmy it is possible to maintain your speed when traveling downhill or with a push from behind. It is a simple as a point and squirt, although you do need to learn to relax a little. (Doing it at high speed or in the wind certainly can lead to splashing.)
I have never seen this attempted by a female. The most obvious option is to soaking yourself and hoping the wetness isn't too obvious. Although I have seen entire packs of female racers call a temporary truce to allow for a pit stop.
The first paragraph is correct, however in a long stage, there are times where the rider will stop, clip out of one pedal, and lean over to void.
This is usually not a problem in professional racing--attacking a rider that is 'relieving him or herself' is considering unsportsmanlike and can lead to hostility towards the attacker.
Sometimes if the race is at quite a slow pace riders stop and get off there bikes and then catch back up.
In 24-hour solo mountain bike races, riders often "just go" while riding.
What does pulling mean in road cycling?
Pulling is when a rider takes a turn at the front of a "paceline," or group of riders in a row. While the rider at the front will experience full wind resistance, the drag of the riders behind is reduced by up to 40%. Maintaining high speed while pulling is an extremely exhausting activity, so each rider will "pull" for 30 seconds to a minute, signal the rider behind, and then move to the side and coast to the back of the paceline. The rider behind then "pulls," and rotating through the group in this manner keeps everyone fresh and maintains high speed.
How many people die from cycling?
