Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Bikes are like trucks, uphills present no danger, only added effort. It's the downhills that call for warning. Ever see a "dangerous climb, use low gear" sign on the road?

BTW- IME inexperienced cyclists never need to be told to dismount and walk on climbs, for the obvious reason.
