Another Automatic Gear Question

Tom Webster is asking us a question that we have been asked before all about automatic gears on Landrider bikes. We give him the link to our other answers and a bit more information on automatic gears

Question: I just seen a ad for an automatic shifter bicycle. It was called a Landrider does this work? Is this a good bike or something that sounds good but ends up a coat rack?
Thanks Tom.

Hi Tom,
We have been asked about automatic gears and the Landrider bikes by other readers in the past, recently Chere asked about automatic gears and how they compare to manual gear systems, you can read it here.

Another reader, Alan, asked us more particularly about the Landrider bikes, we run through what we thought, you can read all about them here.

Our thoughts on automatic gears are that on occasions it is better to have control of what gears you are in, when you want them. The Landrider bike looks good and if you don’t mind the gears changing when they think they should then by all means get one, but personal choice is a great thing when it comes to gears.
