Okay... so I am ready to try and use my bike for everyday utilitarian tasks like shopping etc.
BUT... here where I live there are hills, lots of hills, steep hills!
So, how hard is it to pedal a bike up a steep hill with a trailer loaded with a weeks worth of groceries?
I commute to work up these same hills 11 miles (each way) three or four days a week with a rack and single pannier, loaded with clothes and lunch for the day.
The bike I use is a Trek 7.5FX, with some upgraded components.
The trailer I am looking at is the Burley Flatbed or Nomad.
Any advice, experience, or opinions are much appreciated.
