RE: Cycling is getting too easy!

good point about the hills, we just don't have them here though! I think the 18+ gears was maybe spawned out of competition because 3 speeds were fine but then someone said oh yeah, we have 10! Normally on these many geared bikes you have 3 on the front and 6 or 7 gears on the back tire but when you change the gears on the front the difficulty in pedaling or is that torque? I dunno, but it changes dramatically I would say too dramatically. Especially if you are downshifting on a hill this can be something that is actually dangerous. But then again, maybe I just suck at it :)
