Ha! Or really high gears. Those people grinding along at 15rpm with their kneecaps about to pop off into orbit. Just shift down.
I've seen one guy a few times on my commute who seems to be stuck in the easiest gear, he speeds away from lights and then puts in about 10 superfast pedal strokes, coasts for a bit and repeats all the way to the next set of lights. Never changes gear. I almost asked him about it once. Might offer to have a fiddle with his derailleur next time I spot him.
