# Smart Cycling

Posted Dec 07, 2012 by Gym Source in [FIT Fact](https://blog.gymsource.com/tag/fit-fact) , [Fitness Tips](https://blog.gymsource.com/tag/fitness-tips) , [Gym Source](https://blog.gymsource.com/tag/gym-source) , [stationary bike](https://blog.gymsource.com/tag/stationary-bike)

When using a [stationary bike](http://www.gymsource.com/exercise-bikes), keep fatigue and knee strain to a minimum by pacing yourself between 80 and 110 rpm. Favoring the open road this weekend? To gauge your pace, count how many times your right leg comes to the top of the pedal stroke in 10 seconds, and multiply by 6.  That result is your rpm.
