I've been riding around on my geared hybrid since having a headset fail on my real bike and it's horrible. Keep moving away from lights at snails' pace and muttering "MOVE YOU PIECE OF SHIT" at the bike before suddenly remembering it's got gears and I can just change the gears up and down as required. But even then I haven't figured out how to modify my effort depending on the gear I'm in so if I shift down into a low gear I still put SS-style effort in as I move off and instantly start hamster-wheeling.
I don't like it :(
