Grasshopper:

You said it! How long have you been cycling? Do you find when you shift into your lowest gear that you pedal real fast but don't seem to get up the hill any faster and you just seem to be almost standing still? It seems like that is what happens to me.

DoubleLori:

I too, have been finding the overpasses difficult and I am glad to hear they will improve. Actually, there is one overpass that I have to go on to ride into the next town to visit my sister and I have noticed that that one has gotten a little easier.
