From: Glynneath, a village in the Neath valley, in West Glamorgan, Wales, UK
Bikes: Raleigh Chiltern 3 speed, Pioneer Venture GT 27 speed tourer, Carrera Subway 8. Sadly I don't like the Pioneer, which though I've had it for over a year, has only been ridden three times, and is still in brand new condition, with the blue grease on
Commuting uphill.
I'm pretty much a committed commuter now, on my Carrera Subway 8, and I enjoy taking leisure rides, as often as I can. But after 2 years of such cycling, I still hate hills, big or small. I believe I know why, though I have gears, I fail constantly to use them correctly, fail to find a comfortable rhythym, and so get tired, too quickly and easily. I know this means my technique is rubbish, so how do I improve, any advice out there?
