Not my friend Freddie...The Man Who Rode to the Moon (and back) (twice) | Miles 4 Melanoma you met since his cadence was so low and speed too slow, but truth be told, cadence is a personal thing and everyone has to figure out what's best for their type of riding. There are very few people in the world who can match Freddie's accomplishments with his 80rpm that has worked very nicely for him.
