Thanks for the input everyone.
Lincoln Nebraska must be a very flat place if you have to ask a question like this.
Yes, actually most of Nebraska is very flat. We've got some hills in town, but nothing major at all. During the school year I live in Omaha, NE. My campus sits very close to the Missouri River (probably less than a mile from the Nebraska/Iowa border), and there are some very steep hills there.....i've been too intimidated to bike those....maybe when I get in better shape
