Total non-issue.

I only own road bikes. I usually take the most direct route home because I want dinner ASAP. That route is only 4½ miles. There are 14 stoplights, 7 stop signs, and a roundabout. How's that for stop-and-go? I averaged 17.9 MPH on that route home tonight. Oh, and I also had to stop twice for cars waiting to turn left.

Integrated levers are perfect for that kind of run. Everything's always at my fingertips.

Only you can answer that. As for me, I'm just getting there.
