I love the fact that since the 1970's we've been going metric inch by inch
We've been going metric since 1849, when the Florin was introduced - 1/10th of a pound.
What is your lowest gear and how low is too low. Are new bikes geared too high?

I've got a book in which the author states that our economic survival depends on us going fully metric.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
Its not the inches part of gear inches that's weird and arcane. Its the penny farthing part. Gear-cm would still be pretty odd.
But if you can get over that, it does give quite a nice number varying from 20 or so to 120 or so.
