Hi Judy -
Another trick for cadence without a computer is to get some songs you like and compare the beat to your pedal revolutions. Then you might have a song that has a cadence of 80, one at 90, etc., and you can just sing them to yourself (or out-loud - what the heck - drown out Coach Troy!) and get a sense of where you are and where you want to be. I think if you search on "cadence" and "song" you might find those links.
* With the song technique, I have to remember to keep a good circle going with my pedals, and not let the beat lull me into "mashing".
Have fun!
