Even if its easier to shift from one gear to another, it is still
daunting to some to know when to shift or what to shift to .. How do you
explain to a new person what is first, second .. etc on a bike with 6 on
the back and 3 on the front (18) ? That part still isnt simple.

Gimme a break. If shifting gears on a bicycle is too tough for you, have
one of the eight year olds in your neighborhood explain it to you.
