I see lots of different posts but little or no fact.
My understanding is that ideal normal cadence should be between 80 to 100 not 60, true or false?

Why do threads like this exist in Road?
The last bit of interest I had in BF has just slipped away.
I'm certain that I won't be missed.
Adios, navel gazers.

60-70 is probably the most efficient as far as doing the least amount of work for the most speed, but it is certainly not fast.
Sustained effort and fast speed requires a cadence in the 100 range. Thats road racing, fast touring etc.
Sprinting requires a higher cadence. In the flying 200m, riders are spinning 140-170.
