I love my Boardwalk S1 but not when it comes to very steep grades. I'm thinking about getting a 6 speed bike to help me manage the hills and perhaps speed me along the flats a bit quicker. For downhill however, I do not wish to go any faster.


Does this mean I want a bike with tall gearing or short?

How do I tell which is which, and is changing the gearing relatively simple to accomplish?

Thanks
