I've been doing this for 65 years - since I was about 5! I thought everyone did it! Probably perfected during paper route days, long ago. My route had lots of big hills, and 125 papers on big days, was a big load!

Seems like the big ring had about 100 skip teeth, and the cog had about 6 single spaced --- that is sure how it seemed when chugging up those steep hills!

Man, could I fly when the basket and bag were empty!
