Too mechanical
Biking brings you down into the mechanics of things, worse than setting up a new system on a computer. At least on the computer, once you have everything configured, it stays configured. When hardware breaks, you don't get greasy.
After climbing the long hill from down at the roundabout in front of the Montbonnot side of the autoroute up to St. Ismier, I was looking forward to picking up speed. Then part of the cable to my front derailleur pulled out of its clip, so I couldn't get any traction to move the cage over to the high gear. Nor would the cage stay over once I got off the bike and moved the chain manually. People at bus stops were wondering about the guy riding a chainsaw along the national road ;-)
