Hey on a related topic it seems like the apps are reporting mean cadence, not median, right? I have Strava and Wahoo apps for example. Don't you really want to know the median as there are a lot of "low" points when you are slowing down for that stop light or taking a sit-break and doing a slow standing mash. Those points will lower the "average" and skew your supposed standard pedaling speed. When I eyeball my data it looks like my median is in the lower 90s. Is there anyplace I can upload the data and I will get the median spit out? Or even better the quantiles like RChung is posting (thanks for those by the way!!).

My own cadence seems to be constant up to about a 5 degree uphill, at which point my lowest gear is not low enough and my rpms are decreasing.
