(1 revolution of the wheel , bike travels distance = circumference of wheel.)

On modern (digital) speedometers, the wheel circumference is built in to the programming, the chip measures the time it takes for one revolution via a sensor, divides distance (circumference) by time taken for one revolution and displays the result (speed).
