because i never accept facts without thoroughly examining them.

this is probably true. but it goes against the mechanic's golden rule - if it ain't broke don't fix it. right now my bike ain't broke. to learn how to fix it i would have to well, fix it. i am afraid i might break it in the process - like damage derailleur or something.

i already do. the problem is i come from bodybuilding / powerlifting background and i have some sort of a mental block against "aerobics" because powerlifters despise that. now of course the entire point of biking is aerobics but i still try to build some resistance training into it. to me the idea of exercise without resistance is revolting. even when i was doing swimming i managed to adjust my freestyle stroke to the point of completely destroying both my shoulders in a matter of weeks. there is a quite strong parallel between the way i used to swim and the way i am biking now.
