You have it backwards: lower gear inches pedal easier, not harder. If you develop legs of steel, and this is doubtful, because cycling is (relatively) low resistance high rep work which does little to 'develop' your legs. But, anyway, the point is taken. If and when you develop stronger quads you will want to try a bigger gear. Maybe. Try this, however,
with your cycling:
