| Jun 2, 2018 at 1:05 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | If this is your first long ride you won't be keeping 70-80 cadence. Just try not to let it slip too low, as that is damaging to the knees. A good rule of thumb is to pedal at least as rapidly as you breathe, ideally twice as fast. | |

| Jun 1, 2018 at 20:44 | comment | added | gschenk | +1 to what @Rider_X said. Simply shift when you have to pedal too hard or soon too fast. Otherwise do not care all that much about it. PS I envy you; I should love to ride on the Gardiner between the high-rises! | |
