I got tired of "rowing my own" when we lived in the 'burbs, mostly due to all of the traffic.
And now that we're "out in the sticks" somewhat, even though the traffic is less and the roads are "open", my knees don't care for it. So much so that I'll be swapping drivetrains in 2 trucks (one stick, one auto) just so that I don't have to hit that heavy Borg & Beck all the time.
Sucks getting old and having your body wear down.
