About ActivePedal

Our Mission

ActivePedal was created to democratize access to professional cycling tools and knowledge. We believe that every cyclist, regardless of experience or budget, deserves access to accurate, science-based calculators and comprehensive educational resources. Our mission is to make professional-level cycling optimization accessible to everyone.

What We Offer

We provide free, professional-grade cycling calculators covering all aspects of cycling performance:

• Training Optimization: FTP and training zones calculator for structured workouts
• Nutrition Planning: Calorie and nutrition calculator for ride fueling
• Bike Setup: Tire pressure optimizer and bike fit calculator
• Performance Analysis: Speed/distance calculator and climbing (VAM) calculator

Our Philosophy

We follow three core principles:

1. Science-Based Accuracy: Every calculator uses validated formulas from peer-reviewed research. We cite sources and explain methodologies so you understand where the numbers come from.

2. Education First: Tools without understanding are just numbers. Each calculator includes comprehensive guides (2000+ words) explaining the science, practical application, and common mistakes.

3. Accessibility for All: Professional tools shouldn't require professional budgets. All our tools are free, require no registration, and work perfectly on any device.

Why Trust ActivePedal?

Our calculators are built on the same methodologies used by professional cycling teams, sports scientists, and coaches. We use established formulas including:

• Dr. Andrew Coggan's power-based training zones
• Greg LeMond's saddle height formula
• Dr. Michele Ferrari's VAM (climbing speed) methodology
• Validated MET values for calorie calculations
• Engineering principles for tire pressure optimization
