Yikes. Isn't it strange

Matt2matt2002:
Spending a few days in Lanzarote watching my son-in-law do a triathlon.
Hired a bike for a 15 mile loop of geocashing.
Yikes! After 6+ years on a Rohloff it was a very strange experience fiddling about with levers and gears.
After 14.5 miles (& 3 geocashes) I had finally got the hang of things but can't wait to get back to my twist shifter and faithful Rohloff.
Made me appreciate internal gearing and how lucky I am to ride a Thorn Raven.

Do folk really enjoy all those gizmos and cogs?

Yep, but you don't see many Rohloff riders getting of, leaving the bike behind and running ;)
What's that all about, they've got a bike, why not use it?  You're bound to win...

Except for that swimming part. You are not supposed to submerge a Rohloff, so it make more sense to take a derailleur bike on the swimming stage.
