Well, so far there has not been a hill that has caused me to to stop
peddling and walk the bike up. The low gear is amazing! I have severe
hills all around me and I have done a 14.6 mile ride so far which
included several long tough climbs. I know I could do 25 miles on flat
land, and I tell you I am in NO physical shape at all. My legs are
getting stronger already though, and that makes me happy. I am so
glad that I bought this C'dale Adventure 3 bike. There may be other
2 wheelers out there for similar money that are as good or better, but
I am happy that I have what I have.
