+1. This being the Commuting forum, I've never needed more than one gear to get to work and back, and even for recreational rides, I can count the number of times on one hand that I've had to get off my FG and walk due to stalling out on a steep hill.

That said, I often ride one of my 14-speed bikes to work, but still generally stay within a narrow gear range for that trip. Say, 60-85".
