How do you go faster when cycling I reach the top of my gear ratio and cannot pedal any faster yet I'm not cycling very quickly How do people go faster?

Answer 1

Depends on what's holding you back. If you can keep the pedals turning at a decent rate(say 100 turns/minute) and pushing them down feels easy, then you need a taller gear(bigger front sprocket or a smaller rear sprocket) to go faster.

If you can't pedal faster 'cause pushing the pedals feels heavy, and the pedals aren't goin round that fast, then either you need to get stronger or drop to a lower gear so that you get the strength to turn the cranks at a higher ratio.
