… and I find it difficult to increase my average speed on my current SS equipment. Funny thing is my speed hasn't changed since I went from a 24 speed MTB to a single speed track bike for commuting!
Good point on distance I can go pretty hard for 30 minutes but for a 90 minute commute I'm a lot slower.
Realistically the only way I’m going to go faster is to get strong enough to shift gears and maintain my cadence. When riding Fixed Gear – my gear pretty much determines my commute speed (i.e. the gear I can spin at 100rpm the whole commute).
