Enter the rider position, speed for the scenario you are assessing. Estimate cycling drag area (CdA) from rider position and speed. Aerodynamic drag is the dominant resistance above 20 km/h. Typical road position CdA: 0.35-0.40 m^2; TT position: 0.22-0.28 m^2. Use the cycling cda result to inform your calculation.
