Off topic...still love reading you blog. It is like my morning paper

with coffee of course
Thanks JoAnn! I appreciate that.
The only place gears would be helpful here is on our one bridge, which is a bit of a hill, but it's great exercise just to get out of the saddle and crank over it. I am already used to my single-speed beach cruiser, and the sand and salty air here eats parts, so like you say, gotta keep things as simple as possible.
