going to the LBS on Sat for new oilies, coaxing it along until then, dropping the chain 5-20 times in a n hour is testing my patience
Do you change down gears before stopping at traffic lights?

Of course I do, otherwise what's the point in having gears? Usually down to the 2nd biggest cog on the back.
Only time I forget is if I have to stop suddenly for the lights for whatever reason or I'm being dozy, but sometimes I cheat and creep over the line to shift down a cog or two.

Having gears that you can change without moving?

Nearly always. Starting off gears are 4th and 5th largest on the back so if I'm in the 5th and it's a flat road I'll tend to leave it there. The cruising gears tend to be the 6th and 7th though so I'd 90% of the time I change,.
