Several.

wrong, there are actually 375,352,425 people that ride to work each week:)
Less than one half of one percent. Exception exist but that is considered the best figure on a national average. Ralph Nader and a few people around Boulder Colorado, parts of Oregon and Washington may also fit that profile. There is at least one 80 year old reported around Boulder with a claim to have never been in an automobile, train, plane, derigible or balloon and still commutes to work daily on a 1950 Scwinn but that may be an Urban Legend.

Cycling shorts are usually worn closest to the skin, to get the best benefit from not having any seams that can chafe directly between the skin and the saddle. Putting compression shorts on first would kinda kill off the big idea about the cycling shorts in the first place. But for a shorter ride, or a seasoned rider it'll probably be OK.

If you really like compression shorts, put them on outside the cycling shorts. Or get a combination garment that's BOTH compression and cycling shorts.

Cycling shorts, also known as period, or bicycle pants, are leg wear that individuals use while cycling. They've a good- cool off the biker and try to reduce the air-resistance, defend your skin of the biker, wick the water from your skin and fit style the same as cycling tops and tighten the feet to maintain the cyclist lively. The majority of this important cycling clothing were made from black wool in your day. The crotch and chair regions include synthetic chamois. They designs and are available in a variety of types. Women's and men's biking shorts also vary. Many individuals use them alone without any underwear beneath it. Some contain several cell plus they fit better, however they are more costly.

There are very different types of cycling shorts. One of these is bib pants by which suspenders are accustomed to endure in the place of a waist. Elastic waist could cause distress towards the cyclist. They look into skin and might be too limited. That is why many professional individuals choose bib kind to low-bib type. Cotton and spandex are utilized for making of those products. There's also loose pants for cycling. Also have a slimmer style compared to other forms of pants and they're considered more stylish.

As stated before, biking pants keep the top of calf muscles (quadriceps) restricted by wrapping around them. It doesn't affect the blood circulation, however the wrap offers more strength for the cyclist.

Just how to use bicycle pants?

Lycra ought to be round the bellybutton, when you set the them on. You fold it down around sides and may possibly keep it there.

Just how to select best cycle shorts?

When it comes to burning calories, your heart rate is much more important than what it is that you are doing. If you can reach and sustain the same heart rate for the same amount of time you will burn pretty much the same amount of calories regardless of activity.

For the same length of time, riding flat out will burn more calories than a casual walk, while walking briskly can burn more than a casual ride.

When you have a set distance, cycling will burn less calories than walking at the same level of effort, as the higher speed of the bike means you'll finish the distance faster.

Simple question with more complicated answer. I assume you mean solo as apposed to traveling in the peloton of racers or, say, descending a mountain (when riders will hit 65 mph+).

Looking back to the last TdF that LA competed in his average speed for the prolog stage of 19km (11.8 miles) was over 54 kph (33.5 mph).

Looking at a longer time trial stage, he won the 55km (34 mile) stage at an average speed of 46.4 kph (28.8 mph).

Now these are averages over a certain distance - if he needed to simply max out speed you could shorten the distance further for some increase in speed. Let's just say 35mph+ shouldn't be too difficult. Could he break 40 mph unaided on the flat? I'd say based on these figures it's pretty likely even if just for a short time.

Fast huh? This is true. Track cyclists like Marty Nothstein hit well over 40 mph. The world record for the kilometer is 58 seconds. So you can calculate the speed from that, imaging that is from a standing start. The world record for a 200 meter flying start is about 9 seconds. Using these times and multiplying to the equivalent of 1000 meters comes out to 9 x 5 = 45 seconds for the kilometer which is 0.625 miles. That works out to 72 seconds for a mile. Now take 60 minutes (1 hour) and convert it to 3600 seconds and divide by 72 seconds to get the mph. Answer is 50mph!! Wow! That is a cyclists top average speed over 200 meters. Logically, a sprint specialist could hit slightly above 50mph when he hits the line. Say 52mph! Lance is not a pure sprinter. He is a road and time trial specialist, so his numbers are probably 5% lower.
