I think I heard the term "two foot gear" on the Clydesdales & Athenas subforum. Either that or [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION] said it. Whomever did, it was good! I know I can only go so low before the "speed" gets below my ability to balance. Thus far, that ratio is well below 1:1 and some combination of incline and fatigue. To be clear, I have stepped off and walked many a time. Seattle will do that.
