riding FG has helped me break some bad habits and increase my overall comfort level on bikes. It presents different challenges than a freewheel bike, so I really dig having it in the fleet.
My complete commuter rig consists of 2 bikes. One's a multi-gear CX w/rack/panniers, etc. My other commuter is a fg w/a seatpost rack/trunkbag combo. Riding fg has strengthened and smoothed out my stroke overall. Find myself maintaining cadence where I may have freewheeled before riding fg.
a1penguin: Maybe if you tried one out you'd understand why they exist.
