Jk, it's cause my jeans get caught on the teeth if I'm on the small.
I'm usually not, no climbing on my commutte from Oakland to Milpitas, just a little rolling along Mission.

haha just bustin' yer balls for exhibiting "big ring syndrome"
a lot of roadies have it - i kinda do when I ride my training bike cause it has a compact.
on my caad9 (53/39), I do nearly all of my solo riding under 23mph or so in the little ring.

Heh, there aren't many hills near me so I usually only cross chain when I'm downshifting before a stop. I try to keep my cadence at 90 or above. I'm also riding a compact so I don't see the small ring too often. I was in it more often when I was riding a standard.

Here's a screen capture from my riding partner's video of last year's Mt. Tam Double Century.

Here's some pics from a mtb ride on a very dry Folsom Lake.
Folsom Pond. There's still no rain in sight!
