Headwind and Power
so, in the spirit of the season - 'off-season' for some - a thread we can all present our As and Os...
...so, I've been wonderin, for so very long...
given the same rider, on the same bike
if you're riding at 10 mph (16 kph) into a 15 mph headwind (24 kph) , are you using the equal/same 'power' as if you were riding at 25 mph (40 kph) ???
is it an equal relationship, and is it linear ?
what other factors might influence this greatly ? - are rolling resistence and impedance nominal or significant players in this drama ?
So Bill Nyes _ The Science Guys in our midst - what is the reality?
not a scientist ? have an opinion? lets hear it !
My wishes for more power to all for the coming year
Ride On
Yuri
