    I watched that video a while ago, and I kind of dislike the conclusion.

    Yes, you can gear down to make hills easier, but at what speed?

    You also can’t sustain a hill climb like you can on the flats, because it takes energy to simply stay on an incline.

      Lack of airstream too. Currently cycling at high temperatures and when there’s no breeze I am dying on the climbs, overheating. Feels so refreshing if the incline becomes mellower or flat and you get some airstream.

    Care to explain why? I’m not going to watch some time-consuming video on a spy platform to find out.
