Strong agreement.

I started a diet and my energy levels sucked for a while. It's coming back now, but I switched from FG back to one of my multi-geared bikes. When I'm pedaling, I more automatically change gears to find the best gear for pedaling; about the only reason I coast is when I hit a long downhill.
