I am very curious about this, while I know going brakeless has downsides previously explored, I would like to know how you manage to go up hills?

When things get nasty, I use the method I think is generaly used, which is pull on one side of the handlebars, push one pedal and pull the others, and try to give it a flow. I have found it's a pretty efficient way of grunting the hills, so how does one keep one's feet firmly planted in the optimum position on the pedals?

(while I know this qualifies as a thread hijack, I do not feel remorse has the subject has already derailed)
