My wife bought me a team jersey based on its color, that safety yellow lime color. I have noticed it actually makes a difference in other traffic behavior. They actually see me for a change. I kind...

Don't forget that the aerobic system is a system, the heart being just one component.

That's why "max heart rate" is different for different activities, as they each use different muscles.

it's the butt, hands, shoulders, neck that suffer the most with me. My legs, lungs and heart are always capable of doubling my recent ride distance. As someone else said, elevation matters too.
