72 years old in flat Chicago, only riding again since summer after a long layoff. In good weather with smooth tires I was mostly 48/16-18, but in the cold with knobby studs that has dropped to 38/16-18.
My bike has 48/38/28 on front and 14-34 in back in seven speeds. I have yet to use any of the lower gears. My riding is what I call city tourist, and I am in no great hurry most of the time.
