Bouncing on the saddle and overspinning at high cadence

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

so for my practice and drills should I stay in the gear/cadence that I'm overspinning/bouncing and try to smooth it out OR should I gear up to build up my muscle strength and where the pedalling feeling smoother and gear down as my pedalling improves

I did the latter because it just seemed more natural. I think you naturally tend to gain cadence speed as you ride more.
