I am in the same boat as you. I AM SO HAPPY I bought a cycle computer with cadence, otherwise I would still be mashing around at 60rpm, with a sore groin muscle from all that extra pedalling effort with no real results... which is no damn good!

I now usually spin at about 100, although I could probably ride at a bit of a slower cadence because I have big leg muscles, although spinning at 100 feels great. It took me about a week to get used to the new cadence, I was puffed to start with but now it's spot on
