I did my ride home today just using two gears; I actually got home slightly quicker than usual, maybe because I was subconsciously putting more effort in than usual. Felt a bit nauseous when I got home!
My left knee remind me it was there a couple of times; not with pain or discomfort, just the odd click.
I've always tended to use lower gears and 'spin,' mainly because I read an article in an MTB mag (about 20 years ago) saying that most riders tend to use too high a gear, and it's more efficient to be at 80 - 90 rpm. It certainly feels that way, but that could be because I've been giving myself too easy a time all these years!
Anyway, I'm feeling quite positive about doing a bit of SS commuting in about a month's time when the bike is ready!
