I remember reading on Wiki that Lance Armstrong had a cadence of around 120, then on a triathlete site that claimed 85-90 is a good range for beginners. I try to stay around 100-105, above 110 I stop making power on my current bike so it becomes an issue of efficiency.

I used to pulse and glide when I started out but as my rides became longer and more demanding I noticed that it took a lot out of me because it just seems to mimic the stop sign syndrome.
