Have a chunk of the younger guys gotten soft? Do a chunk of them need to HTFU? Am I just being a grumpy old man? Or, some combo of both???
I also take issue with anyone in good health pushing a bike up a hill for any reason.
But that being said I also believe that my generation also had its share of lazyass kids as I remember many of my friends and other kids in town pushing their Scwhinns up hills
