I am in my sixth decade

Edit: Even though, in my Avatar photo, I am enjoying a ride on a singlespeed, propelled by my sister. But that was in my SECOND decade.
Almost 46 years young and have been riding FG/SS for the past 8 years. I don't own any multi geared bikes...The secret to healthy knees is all about a proper gear ratio. Spin more and don't mash big gears...Mashing big gears will destroy knees.
