53 x 19 just feels in a sense too easy though...

It was a joke bud. If speed is thrilling why not a motorbike?
*that was a joke, too
if you like to mash on the pedals, go up in gear inches. If you care about your knees, learn to spin effectively. Good thing is, many cyclists take up fixed gear riding to work on exactly that.
