What a laugh.
After my post from last night, I proceeded to ride 46/15 today.
It was actually worth it. Felt more like being a mad man on the roads. But it was a pain in the arse to get of from full stops. It isn't really a good ratio for commuting during the busy hours. It just takes too much energy and a loooong time to accelerate.
That counts for the city.
Since I stay in the far outskirts of Munich and have got several kilometres to cover before I actually begin to feel like being in the big city, it was quite a relieve to have the bigger ratio. That does pay off for longer distances.
