Thinking of buying one. Anyone on here got one and get discuss Pros/Cons ? How exactly do the gears work ? Haven't been on a bike since i was a kid & haven't a notion how they work. Look to be 24 gears on it 3 on the left handle and 8 on the right. Any help is appreciated

They're a pretty well respected make and model of bike, all depends on what you want to use it for; fitness, transport etc.

Here's some good info on gears and how best to use them:
