About these units
Cycling Speed (cycle)
Typical cycling speeds vary dramatically by context: Casual cycling (4–7 m/s or 15–25 km/h), Road cyclists (8–12 m/s or 30–45 km/h), Professional racing (12–15 m/s or 45–54 km/h), Sprint track cyclists (peaks of 20 m/s or 72 km/h or more). Cycling is highly efficient due to mechanical advantage and reduced ground friction. Aerodynamics becomes a dominant factor at higher speeds, shaping bicycle frame design, wheel geometry, and rider posture. Cycling speeds inform urban infrastructure (bike lanes, safety regulations), sports training, and commuter planning. As a hybrid of human physiology and mechanical engineering, cycling speed provides insight into how technology amplifies natural human motion.
Millimeter/Minute (mm/min)
A millimeter per minute is a slow mechanical speed often encountered in CNC machining, automated laboratory equipment, and controlled industrial processes. In medicine, infusion pumps, surgical robotics, and controlled incisions may specify movement in mm/min to maintain safety and precision. By using millimeters instead of centimeters or meters, the unit ensures fine control in delicate operations where even small deviations matter.
