I won't be using the Mu Uno on anything even remotely hilly; that's what the Bike Friday is for =). Point taken, though, I'll leave it for now. The Mu Uno is basically to ride to Oakland and lock up at the Grand Lake Theater (since they're not cool with me bringing my BF folded up inside). All the N/S rides are pretty flat; anything E or W will get the 8 speed.
