Hi Melissa,

Well, this shows you how stupid I am. I do have eight gears on the back! So, back to my original question. Can I use the same chart as Denise, since my front gears are the same too?

BTW - I LOVE riding my bike!!! I am having an absolute ball with it. And I am gaining more confidence every day. Today I went on the bike bath (basically flat w/ no hills) and went out to the cranberry bog. It was 10 miles out and 10 miles back. And I even bought a pair of real biking shorts, with a nice chamois pad. And are you ready for this - I went Commando for the first time(tee,hee)!!!

I still only used four gears, though. 2:3, 2:4, 3:3, and 3:4. But I'm a happy camper

Once again, thanks for all of your help. You are an absolute doll.
