Loosing the urge to shift
When did you finally loose that urge to reach for the shifters and find an easier/harder gear? I was riding in the head winds yesterday and dropped my hand almost by rote to shift, and I thought, "there's no shifter, WTF are you doing?" Then I came to a down hill, and reached to shift up, and again caught myself.
I've been riding fixed for three seasons, and while I do jump on the roadie once and a while, or the MTB a couple of times, my main ride is fixed (I have 4 to choose from). I am just wondering when this habit goes away.
