When I first started trying to keep above a cadence of 60 RPM (Bicycling) I felt like I was working too hard (got winded). I stuck with it, because I figured whoever wrote the book probably knew what he was talking about. After awhile, I got used to the faster cadence, and I found my muscles didn't get as sore on long rides.

> Muscles do make a difference though, I've got a scottish heritage.

What's the difference between a Scottsman and a Rolling Stone?
