spinning ?

I'm very happy for other riders to train and race in big gears and low cadence. Less competition in races

There is a theory, which I tend to believe, that states that riding at higher cadences
(85-95) is physically more difficult and uses more oxygen than riding at the same speed
using lower cadences(50-80). However, because lower cadences produce more
lactic acid the brain sees them as inefficent and tells the body that higher is better.
According to this theory this is why most pro riders and people who "ride lots"
tend to all arrive at the 85-95, give or take a bit, cadence on their own, without any
coaching. It seems easier to the brain and that's who rules in the end.
Please take this as only my interpetation of a rather long winded article I read some
time ago. Just food for thought. If I recall I think I posted a link to this article on this forum.
Give it a shot, it's a tough read.
