Cadence by itself has no relevance to cycling technique. Focusing on cadence is a red herring. Cadence is a response. Since it's a response, exogenously changing your cadence to match some fixed target can only screw up "cycling technique."

First image is all the cycling I have done this season(same as the one in the earlier post but incl. zeros), 538 hours, avg 73 rpm.

Second image is outdoor cycling, 449 hours, avg 69 rpm.

Third image is indoor cycling, 89 hours, avg 94 rpm.

Response to Eldrack:

The "low end bulge" is because when I ride at low intensity outside in the rolling terrain around where I live, I keep the cadence low in the short 10-20 % climbs, in order to keep the intensity low.

this is just abput the only post that makes sense.... outside i took all the values I had since all the courses are similar I rounded them out to get a total average cadence of 75.4xxx rpms... i guess thats not too bad for only cycling for 2-3 months spuradicly

Intensity is a function of power, not cadence. Low cadence can still be high intensity.

Did you include the zeroes from periods of coasting into your average? The answers you got here did.

It's fine. There's really nothing good or bad about one's cadence.
