Default Bicycling as ski imitation?

Good points, Ken, mah man!

They reminded me of how back in the day I'd sometimes forget which sport I was
doing. I'd do them all in a way that felt the same.

It's possible to blast along at whatever sport with a similar kind of feel and
output. --But the various cadences that are expressed are all different.

I guess.

However, maybe it's also of interest how SIMILAR they are to each other.

Cycling 70-110rpm
Paddling 70-90rpm
Ski-skating 60rpm ?? (worldclass?)
Ski-classic ??
Telebumps ??
Rowing ??
Running ??
Swimming ??

--heavy bag action seems a BIT faster, tho...

Ax-chopping? Hmmm... 20-30rpm?
Archery ... 20spm
