Robert loves to ride his bicycle. The force he applies on the pedal is called the rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag, together with inertia forces during acceleration and gravity forces when climbing an incline.
What is the force applied to the pedals of a bicycle?
The forces that resist the movement of the bicycle include rolling resistance and drag, as well as inertial forces during acceleration and gravity when climbing slopes. The rider overcomes this resistance by applying force to the pedals. The pedal is transmitted to the rear wheels via a mechanical drive.
The effectiveness of pedaling force in cycling is usually measured by the ratio of the force perpendicular to the crank arm (effective force) to the total force exerted on the pedal (residual force). Most studies measuring pedal force are limited to one leg, but some studies report asymmetry in pedal force on both sides.
