@ernest in a land where you only ever go down hills maybe!
Hills are fun. Through nothing more than your own manual effort you’re able to swiftly scale mountains and are rewarded with stunning vistas (and a fun decent).
hmmm. Well, whatever distances or gradient you're used to traveling by foot, a bicycle is quite effortless in comparison.
@geoffervescent @ernest ah, so he said "effortless in comparison to..." I must have missed that. 🤷♂️
It was a joke folks, but an accurate one and people replying to pretend otherwise need to consider why they're doing that IMO.
Good gearing takes care of most hills, and new electric bikes handle tougher hills than that, or get you where you're going without getting sweaty, but a regular bike will usually suffice.
@ampersandrew @ernest you speak as if you think I've never ridden a bike.
No gearing makes riding up hills "effortless" and sure if you're being pushed up by a motor that's fine, but that's not really a bike, it's a motorbike.
