I do a 13 mile ride both ways to work and about 99% of the ride is dead flat with the other 1% being a stupid great dent in the surface of the planet. I don't even mind the climb back up half as much as the decent. I'd easily live with the extra 200g to be able to freewheel down that hill every day but getting off the bike and twiddling it with a screwdriver every time? Seriously?! This thing would be great with a bar mounted shifter but as it is it's pointless. Flip flop.
