My bit of advice here is to be careful not to pull on the handle bars when going up super steep grades. We have some in Pittsburgh (the kind with steps, not sidewalks next to them) and I actually pulled my front wheel off the ground a couple times--scary. Standing was not an option because of stability.
This is what I mean about Pittsburgh hills: http://wpwbikeclub.org/pgh_hills.html
