I'm currently working on increasing my cadence in order to pick up my overall speed - along with a few other methods. Its certainly a dominant theme in the ffedback I've been given by some of the experienced and quick roadies that I've started riding with.

However, the question in this post is what cadence do you ride at? I'm curious about where people fall in the grinder - spinner spectrum. I'm on the grinder (80-90 rpm) end myself. Moreover, my average speed, come hell or high water, is 30km/h and I really want to get up closer to 40.

If you can respond, please add some details about your level of experience, preferred races, average speed, physiology and anything else you may think is relevant.

(Ps - couldn't really find what I wanted on a quick thread search - please point me in the right direction if I missed something).

Mahalo.
