Recently I had a few too many beers and was talking to a friend of mine who is doing many kinds of sports like kickboxing and soccer etc. etc., but REFUSES to ride a bicycle to move around town because he complains that whenever he is riding, he breaks into a sweat because he just can't ride in a relaxed way.
I was then claiming that he's probably spinning too fast and needs a really, really high mash-to-crash gear so his knees+legs give up before his lungs do, and then he would have a bike where he would not sweat (as much) anymore.
Before he's starting to call me where to buy a 66t chainring and a 11t cog: did this beer-driven claim make any sense, or will his "problem" persist?
