It's weird that I am asking these questions...it's like never knowing how to even ride a bike at all. LOL.
You can get a bike computer that will tell your cadence, speed, mileage, etc. Like Neil B I don't really pay much
attention to my "exact" cadence, I don't even have a computer Although I do try to spin.
