No, your talking extreme cadences. On road bikes, you want to maintain somewhere between 70 and 100 RPMs, at least that's what I've heard, and I usually ride somewhere in the 80's, that's about as fast as I can go before I start to bounce a little, but I would love for someone to chime in who knows more on this subject. (not the hijack the thread, but since it came up, I'm curious to know more).
