I started off riding a 52 x 15 twenty years ago thinking it was a "normal" gear and wondered why I was so knackered after my ride to work. Gradually started riding lower & lower gears until I settled on 47 x 19. Both my winter and summer bikes are set up like that now and find it copes with everything. Also taught me to spin.
