The heel and toe shifter came on the bike. My first bike with one. Got use to it and use it all the time. Love it!

Yes I use it. The second bike doesn't have the heel shifter. Although I'm fine either way, I prefer the heel shifter.

I find myself using it early in my ride but after a couple of hours I get lazy and resort back to the toe. It's an unconscious thing so I could do without it.

Hate it! It is long gone.

I did give it a two season trial, but nope, still didn't like it.
