    I'll bet that, in time, you'll feel less fear when going down hills. I remember when we first got our Trek hybrids almost two years ago, I braked down hills. Now, I love them -- it feels great to go sailing down a hill at over 20 miles per hour. Unless, of course, I know I'm going to have to go back up that hill or another just as steep to get back. Still haven't got to the point that I like CLIMBING hills!
