        Displays to the screen in text mode two tables of sorted gear
        ratios in "gear inches".  This is (an ancient) standard
        of determining (normalized) gear ratios that dates back
        to the days of the high wheeler, (Ordinary or Penny Farthing).
        In those days it was simply the diameter of the large driving
        wheel.  Modern safety bicycles can be related back to the
        high wheelers by the gear inch which is equal to the number
        of teeth in the front chain ring divided by the number of
        teeth in the rear cog and multiply the result by the diameter
        of the rear wheel.
           The reason two tables are displayed is that the left most
        one if for use in figuring out what clusters to buy and how
        to customize them.  The format of the charts are positionally
        sorted to easily show the shifting pattern.  If they are
        printed in condensed mode then the one on the right can be
        cut apart and taped on to your bike (handlebar stem?) for
        reference.  (Make sure nothing is in front of you before
        you glance down at it.  Don't study it while riding, save
        studying for while you are stopped at a red stop light or
        resting.  Keep an eye on the road!  Lets be careful out
        there!)
