This is my second bike. I currently ride a specialized hardrock sport that I just bought about three months ago. I have road tires on it, but keep the mountain tires since I still go mountain biking occasionally, and it works for now...it is of course geared. But I want a second bike and more importantly a consistent commuter.

Berea isn't really that hilly, although it does have some hills. My usual route to work is only about 1.5 miles, although if I take the long route it can be up to 4. There is only one hill that I have to ride on, during the normal route and I can handle it easily on a single speed.
If I want to ride for fun or elsewhere that I will need gears I'll probably ride the mountain bike.
How do internal gears work?
