At the requuest of my knees, I mash less and spin more these days.

I'm "only" 57, but over the last year I lowered the gearing on my main commuter, and my roadbike. Well, I kept the high gearing the same but added a wider spread to give me lower gearing for the hills here in Colorado Springs.

HOw different than back in 1997, when I bought a mountain bike for commuting but had them put the largest front chain ring that would fit up front (53). However, thanks to the triple up front that bike also has my lowest gears by far.
