I get quite a few high readings, over 200 sometime, use the gears to maintain about the same cadence, thats what gears are for, and why bikes have so many, there are times when I find a two tooth difference is too much, this is why I prefer triples over compacts as you can have really close groupings even on 7 (like my old thing) and 8sp and superfine on 9 and 10 sp's.
My fav segment improvement today.

I meant the improvement in speed would not be as impressive, not the presentation of the graph.

Sorry,
I am stuck about 15.6mph for the last three month (including this one), but that includes all rides, the few commutes I do little trips to the docs ect. I am 0.1mph faster than last (currently) both with 43.22ft/mile pretty much the same avg elevation 1574ft last 1597ft this with 36.41mile/day last and this 36.94miles/day. The biggest difference is in the gear " down from 66.06in to 64.55in and an increase in cadence from 79.3rpm to 81.7rpm. This is what I am trying to work on this month.

Amazing improvement. It really puts things into perspective when you look back several months. About 30% improvement!

Just worked mine out. Gone from 14.95 in January to 15.84 this month. (November and December are both below 14mph, but I was recording total average speed and not moving speed back then.) Not worked the elevation out, but am confident that I am doing more now than I did in January

It's now intermittent, though I didn't notice much in the last 5 mile or so.

Welcome @Stonechat
I think @Nigelnaturist picked up some MTB style shoes he's happy with, or use the search bar and some results will pop up for sure. One thing I have noticed is how people talk about different brands have different sizes, so going to a shop and trying them on may be beneficial for you, even if you end up buying them online afterwards

YEs I intend to go to the Sigma shop as I want to try. My feet seemslightly unpredictable with any shoes and can be between 7, 7 1/2 and 8

I know the feeling, I hate buying shoes...yet have so many of them. It may be better to get the size that's bigger, not tighter, as there may not be much stretch in the shoe due to the rigid soles. Big shoes can be tightened, but small shoes won't stretch (with sl shoes anyway - so I've been told)

Did this climb - a bit hard.
http://veloviewer.com/segments/970495/athlete/2689859It's barely more than a path and bumpy terrain and post near the top had to get off to go through the posts (wouldn't be necessary if I had more speed)
