For me, it was a bike n barge in Netherlands with my MIL a few years 
ago, worrying if I was going to fall off a dike.
And my 10 speed was the top of the line! Umm, in 1965. Was that really 
40+ years ago? My kids got me a mountain bike w 18 speeds for home after 
our trip. I use 3 of them. Same as I did on my 10 speed. Right all the 
way down for "uphill", both up for "regular", left all the way down for 
"speed." Tip- never use just the left brake- it locks the front wheel 
and causes jettison over handlebars.
