Note: I’m using a set of Shimano 105 50/39/30 crank, combining with a 12-27 (12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,24,27) cassette.
My friend, Yin drives a 2002 Honda Civic DX, with a 1.7L, 115 horse power engine and a 4-Speed automatic transmission.
Scenario: I’m a very zealous cyclist and enjoy taking on difficult challenges. My friend, Yin and I take the same route to work, which is a quiet rural road. There is a stretch of a six mile straightway (flat side road). She promised to keep her engine below 2500 rpm, which would limit the engine from reaching optimal torque.
So I’m wondering if it is possible to keep up with her car?
If so, at which gear and cadence?
