Apparently you have nothing to do but to go around trying to find reasons to criticize people.
Sorry that you read my post as a form of criticizing you.
Let me clarify my post...
In my experiences of owning and also currently using a range of gearing, the gear ratios are for tackling different ascents / grades. In my opinion unless you are on a single speed, the gearing ratio on multiple geared bikes can be used for both forms of excersize.
mrtuttle accused me of having nothing to do but to go around trying to find reasons to criticize people. I appologise to all members I have personally critisized. I didn't realize my opinons equalled personal attacks or personal critisizm.
I will be careful in the future. m(. .)m
