Depends on which bike I'm on. My old bikes have slightly better than "period correct" gears for 1980s racing bikes, like 52/42 x 13-26, so with them it's 'sit and grind", whereas my Canyon has 52/36 x 11-34, so with it I sit and spin. I also take it up longer hills than the old bikes. Since I weigh just a bit over 200 lbs, I don't do much out of the saddle climbing, though I'm working on that.
