Going faster up the hills
Hello all,
I have noticed that I can keep a 15mph pace easily on the flats but when I go up the hills I have a hard time keeping up my pace and my legs hurt. I was wondering if this would help me go faster up the hills. What do you think? I don't like when my legs hurt.

If you are unfamiliar with this, there is a bracket that comes from the pusher that attaches to your seat post. It takes 4 cycle gas and I'm guessing gets 30 to 40 miles a gallon.

That's a gross polluter and should be banned from public roads. Failing that, try throwing some aviation fuel in it.

I would get at least one more and attach it to the first, just in case one fails. Would be horrible to have to use legs when cycling.

Thanks. I'm thinking of adding a second handlebar as I've heard it can make you go faster when it is windy outside.
