Is there really a "technique" for going up hills? Besides any way that gets you there? Tater said her "technique isn't very good" when she wrote about going up hills in another thread, and that made me wonder if there are some nifty tips and tricks I could learn to help?
I was reading, I think it was Velogirl's post about teaching, and how turning is done with hips rather than hands, and I hadn't really noticed that even though I know that I don't turn the front end all that much when I turn the bike, so I paid attention, and played seeing how shifting my body affected my direction today while we were out riding. COOL!
So, what are the tricks I can learn and practice while I'm putting in all that saddle time that will make hill climbing work better?
oops, a girl oughta sign her posts, eh?
