Ive ran around 76GI for the city, and have had to go up a long uphill on daily basis.
Its all doable, and felt super fast compared to any of my other bikes.
But whenever ive ridden with other people, they have been able to thrash me speedwise even on a lower gear even downhills.
This made me realise im quite unfit, and could really do with learning how to move my legs faster. Think it would feel a lot better and improve cardio-vascular stuff innit.
Im going to drop down to around 70 for my new bike.
Oh and Kurt, maximum respect! for being a paramedic. Id suck at that.
