Been down for a little while with some upper body damage. Still healing, but very much back riding now. Geared bikes are the only option though, because I am not able to stand on the pedals yet. Been putting in some hard and lengthy miles, to get back, and my knees are taking a beating. All the seated pushing... Can't wait to be standing on the SS again.

Have to agree. Since I'm a wuss and ride 5 inch travel 1x9 speed most of the time, I find my legs yearning for that responsiveness, yet when I'm on the SS, I want "just one easier" gear.
