    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.
