So i checked out the gears on my bike, i'm rolling with 12-25 on the back and a 39-52 double on the front.
I came from riding a mountain bike with quite a granny gear on it, so when i first got on the road bike i was like "what the devil, this is hard as hell" but in about two weeks or so i was cruising up my regular hill no problem, and a darn sight faster too.
I say just HTFU and ride it.
