My knees and ankles are in rough shape and get sore walking but I can pedal fine as long as I have some gearing.
I’ve swapped out the rear cog on my single speeds to a 24 tooth . I spin out between 9-10 mph , but that’s fast enough for me .
Most of my geared bikes now have a low tooth count single chainring and around 11-32 or 12-34 rear cassette.
The Fat Tire Lux is geared pretty low . It’s easy to pedal ,even with the big tires .
