the best pace, for burning calories and cardio fitness is between 90 and 100 rpm. What does that mean?

It means you're working and your legs are moving fluidly and quickly for the full rotation, not just pushing down. Find a shop you like and go for a ride with some of the guys there -or- ask one of them to ride with you and give a few pointers.

Mashing gears uphill just make riding tough and make you breathe harder. Thats about all.
