Speaking of Berlin, I just sold a bike to a young graduate student who is from Berlin. We both live in Maplewood, New Jersey, which has steep hills. (We are near New York City.) She saw the 10-speed drivetrain and asked if I had a bike with no gears. I don't, but I think she may get an appreciation for the gears soon enough.
