This morning's commute and other commuting stories

I wasn't being touchy (this is LFGSS my friend), just pointing out that this:

it makes sense that a higher tooth count will be better to trackstand
on, because the chain covers a higher surface area within the
drivetrain the more teeth there are, making it more responsive to any
force put on the pedals

makes no sense. At all.

Also by not mentioning the ratio of chainring to sprocket size, you were missing the key point about gear ratios.
