I think some like to use km because it gives bigger numbers To encourage the OP; many years ago a work mate decided to start cycling the 1 1/2 miles (just over 2km) to work. At one point there is a slight gradient, probably about 1 in 50. When he got to work he had to sit at the bottom of the stairs for 5 minutes before he could climb a whole single flight. I think the problem that many people like him face is that they think cycling is going to be hard and so they make it hard by stomping a big gear. It is good to hear that the OP is finding pleasure in cycling, just don't fret so much about speed, be it kph or mph.Damo78 wrote:I usually use miles, but seems km is used mostly on here
5 miles = 8 kms
so 100 miles = 160kms hmm doing 100kms not such a big deal just 60 miles or so
