+1 for hub gears - you just have to unlearn the habit of shifting gears while pedaling, because that can destroy your hub gear. And not lend your bike to anyone who might accidentally do that. Funnily enough, most bike sharing bicycles where I live have hub gears anyway, and many are in a pretty bad condition, I assume because they were used by people unaccustomed to hub gears...
