All about the tiny granny....

Seconding the notion of the tiny granny gear!
Having proper gearing makes all the difference in the world for carrying heavy weight. Definitely get an 11-34 mountain bike cluster for your rear wheel. You can take a 100-lb. bike up a steep grade without breaking a sweat if you have a small enough granny gear... just don't expect to reach the top particularly quickly
