What exactly does re-learning on a geared bike entail: standing on the pedals and coasting?

Gee, I'd never be able to acquire those skills.

As I chase the roadies around Prospect Park, while they're shifting and coasting, and I never get a break at any point, I think about the UNFAIR ADVANTAGE I have over them, what with my pedal spinning around on its own and essentially doing all the work for me.

And after 35 or so miles, this advantage really pays off.

Next year, maybe I'll take my act to the TOUR De France; it'll be like doping without the sanctions.
