I worked on hills today, too, and I was thinking *exactly* this. I mean, if I can haul my butt and my 34+ pound bike up hills and get to the point where it doesn't cause me to collapse at the topOriginally Posted by sundial
Mimi, this bike weighs 34 lbs and is heavier than my FS mtb.I was thinking today--if I can tackle hills with this bike, imagine how speedy I'll be on the other bikes.
I think that if I ever got on a lighter bike I'd be able to whip up those hills like nothing. This just makes sense to me.
And, I think I work pretty hard on my bike. I've never ridden a lighter bike, so I have no comparison and don't mentally go around thinking that my bike is heavier so I can't work as hard on it. Know what I mean?

"A bicycle does get you there and more. And there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun."
