six pages and no one answered the question. You guys are unbelievable and it's very sad that you guys have to unzip your pants for every thread.

The answer is; a higher cadence can help you ride longer.

80-100 is a pretty big range. If that's where people are, then that's where people are, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there is value in targeting a specific cadence, especially for new riders. Which isn't to say that increasing cadence may not be beneficial, but not just for the sake of increasing it or hitting an arbitrary number.

I'm not quite sure what Tulex wants but high cadence isn't particularly highly efficient.

Hey, y'all know what's ironic? My point was that newbie riders really aren't ready to pedal like experienced riders do, so it's bad advice to suggest they do. I should've realized that many participants in this particular forum really aren't ready to understand subtle issues so it was bad of me to bring it up. Apologies all 'round.

I accidentally the whole thing.

Every body Rchung tonight. I can only aspire to be elite and look down on simpletons. Some day......
