Autumn bath

My roadie has brifters (Shimano 105) but my commuter has Tiagra which has brifters with thumb levers. We went out to do a long ride one day after I had been riding my commuter a lot and I panicked and told DH "OH NO!!! My shifter is broken, the lever broke off!!" I was looking for the non-existent thumb lever. And I often have to remind myself which one I am on to remember. I am 27.

I put bar ends on my older bike this year (replacing the downtube shifters) so it's the same as my new bike.

After i got the FX, the Pilot didn't get much attention. When I finally did ride the Pilot I cursed the front shifter for not working,

I had completely forgotten about the barcon on that side

Well, I'm not putting Ultegra on my Jamis. I always take a little look at the arrows on the shifters on this bike, because I only ride it maybe once a week. Sometimes, I'll be riding up a slight hill and think, gee this feels hard and I realize I'm in my big ring. This never happens on my road bike. The mountain gearing on the Jamis throws me off a bit, too, but I just deal with it.
I don't think it's my age, I never have been able to remember any sequence of things when it is in the physical/mechanical domain. Using a computer is not fun for me, although the Internet always seemed just like the library, so that's not been a problem. I had a lot of trouble with remembering how to shift when I switched to the road bike from the mountain bike with slicks, but I eventually got it.
