Another solution for that problem is synchronized shifting with Di2 system. I wonder if there's a discussion group where the two sides a "You MUST have multiple chainrings because you MUST have the ability to micro-adjust your cadence!" vs. "Being within 15% of the ideal gear is fine! You MUST be free of shifting another derailleur!" I'd be happy to just watch from the sidelines. -- - Frank Krygowski |

I seem to remember talk about an increase in cycling when the gasoline price went sky high. Perhaps that is an easier solution than building bicycle paths. Just raise the price of fuel :-) -- cheers, John B. |

Here in a lot of North America in a lot of cases it's a LONG WAY between towns. take Ontario, Canada for example. You can fit France, Germany and the British Isles in that province. Granted a lot of it is uninhabited but especially in Mid-Northern Ontario there's quite a distance between towns. Also, I don't think you'd like to bicycling the roads up there in the dead of winter.

I prefer to ride on the roads where at least there is modicum of obeying traffic laws unlike rail-trails or MUPs where everyone is doing whatever willy-nilly and often with complete disregard for others on those trails.
