Even more sad is that there are a bunch of bicycles being made and used in the Phoenix area that only come with one gear, because they know most people don't care, don't know, or would rather save money with a bike with one gear.
I've seen too many people with multiple speed bikes leaving a stop light and putting their whole weight on one pedal to move it forward, instead of just shifting down...
I ... uhh.... forgot the point I was going to make. I'm tired. Maybe I was going to say that most people are just lazy by using that as an example. Yeah. That must have been it.
I agree completely, this is an excellent point.

So ... are you saying it's pointless for the bike makers to keep making gears on bikes since no one cares? doesn't pay attention, it cost more money? They don't feel like it.... or even they are lazy Or are you saying you feel sad that people don't care to learn to shift the gears? or they don't want to fork out the money for a nice bike with many gears.
In terms of relating this to the FRS and this topic. Don't forget we represent the 10% of people who know what this car is about, what it's for and why it's made that way. The other 30% hasn't gotten into the 10%, but the other 60% is not going to care, like the bike. It gets them to point A-B in a pretty car, who gives a crap about the gears and all that, it's Pretty that's good enough. Toyota sells another.
Shrug...like the population with those bike, the 60% of buyers are going to be like "ask me if I give a @#$%"
And... Drag racing is for Pony Cars....Who the heck drags or wants to drag with a FRS totally defeats the purpose.
