$@!#$@ what gear am i in?

So...I used to have indicators on the Sirrus, but when I got the Eros Donna without them, I just learned to go by feel, always being careful not to crosschain. No problems so far at all. And I really don't like looking down when I ride.

I also ride a Sirrus (it really is a good commuter, even if it's not a fancy road bike with drop bars) and while I like the indicators, I use them very little and instead ride by feel. Why? Well, two reasons. First of all, I learned to ride with gears on an old Univega hybrid, and it didn't have any markings. Second, I was doing a large part of my riding at night, and since the indicators aren't backlit, they were useless. Not that lit indicators wouldn't be pretty cool.
