About these units
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.
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.
