Yes I agree Knot. Maybe the difference between you and I is that you have the strength to push a bigger gear. I am definitely a spinner, not a masher. The only time I do a cadence of about 60 is climbing big hills and even then I'm in my easiest gear.

Or that I just don't have the fast-twitch fibers in my legs to spin easily.
When I was in track I absolutely s*cked at sprints and any distance less than a quarter mile, but I was good at the long distance stuff.
I just can't move my legs quickly. For someone who *can* move their legs quickly, I'd bet a faster cadence would be more efficient and more chi-running like.
In the great cycle of life, everyone must find their own cadence...
