amnesia
Free-wheeling into oblivion...

I have been commuting to work for the past few weeks (lost 10lbs in the process and feel much fitter) and have noticed that I tend to naturally spin the pedals quite fast.
When following another 'roadie' I always seem to be pedalling a lot faster to maintain the same speed. It feels comfortable to me, but I am wondering if it's particularly efficient ?
I am sure I've read that 80 rpm is 'about right' but I reckon I am somewhere between 100 and 120 rpm on the flat (I don't have cadence on my computer).
Any thoughts ? Is it just a question of getting fitter / stronger legs to push higher gearing ?
