He's going to shoot it down as my first pick of a new technology. I need to prove to him that this is a great technology provided by a great corporation. Please, allow me to send this website to him.

It needed a few repairs I was able to do. I'm no bike expert but it's kind of fun to ride - although I do question its judgment at times so far as its shifting selections...

It was about $6000, and came with a lot more features, but it does exist somewhere. I know a few months ago, I saw on Daily Planet a bike from Mercedes that had automatic transmission.

I've seen them before, even on branded bikes. I wonder though why oh why people would want a automatic gear box in their bike.

I know I saw one in person about 3 years ago and it wasn't made by Shimano.
