It is absolutely ridiculous to struggle your way up hills, overworking your system and destroying your knees, because you have a lower gear and refuse to use it. Shift down when you start climbing, shift back up when you get to the flats/downhill. It's not a difficult concept. Really. I promise.
+1. It's not like golf - at least I hope it's not! - where you'd compare with your buddies which club you're using for a given hole.
