I saw someone riding the Landrider and it appeared his bicycle was broken! The man was traveling so slowly because the he was using the small chain-ring!! Furthermore, the transmission was so noisy because the flywheel was constantly trying to move the derailleur up and down the cassette all the time. It sounded like he was riding a cheap department store bike.

That's the problem with automatic transmissions. They are constantly moving up to a higher gear with the intention of getting you to a faster speed. There are many riders like myself who don't want to accelerate with each pedal stroke every time they get on a bicycle.
