Hill climbing and gear ratio question to help my numerically challenged mind.

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Besides, cycling gear is nearly unisex anyway ... maybe too fine a line on which to balance, once the slinging got started ...

now i can proceed with my daily activities....sarcasm from rpenmanparker and a few lovely jewels from Maelochs. thanks for setting things right with the world.

That's hysterical, and totally my mistake. I meant "granny" gear. I can assure you it's only a typo.

I hate auto-correct. It's my worst enema.
