If the kids are laughing at you, you should take it deeply to heart and internalize it heavily.
To those who are looking for serious help and wondering about gear ratios, ride whatever works for you and don't worry about anyone else. It doesn't matter what anyone else rides, it just matters what works best for you and your situation. 42/18 56/15 38/24 or anything in between or outside of that so long as it works well for you.
