    another stupid question from a newbie....

    So I have the general idea of most of the "lingo" that is used by riders. But honestly I have no idea what cadence is (as it pertains to cycling). I could google this, but you ladies seem a heck of a lot more insightfull and entertaining than google, so that is my question. Thank you in advance...

    Sheldon Brown also explained it nicely in his article on How to Shift Your Bicycle's Gears (read the sections "Cadence" through "Pushing vs Spinning").

    And this is definitely not a stupid question.

    "How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
    David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

    Random babblings and some stuff to look at.
