Chapter 2 starts out with a bicycle. A good way to start if you ask me. There is talk about gearing. I never really thought that much about this. I put my bike in a low gear for going up the hill and a large gear for going down the hill. But what does that really mean mechanically? Fixed gear people talk about their gear ratios but I always tuned those conversations out because I am too clumsy for a fixie. I do have a single gear bike but I have no idea what the ratio is. It just goes. And the people who have 2 different sized wheels are just taking it to another level that I have previously been uninterested in.
Sandi Metz has made me think about all of this stuff. The most I can say is at least I knew it existed so that is something.
We are trying to figure out the gear ratio of a bike.
