He gave me a confused look, so I gestured at his bike. "I have a patch kit and a pump, need anything?" He looked at me and turned back to a friend he was with and kept walking. I then realized he was just carrying it, it didn't look like he'd ridden it (yellow tires weren't dirty).
Now its ON and I'm going to heckle them every chance I get
I had someone ask me if something was wrong once, when I was walking my bike up the hill to my house. He was really friendly, and I appreciated the gesture. I told him I had just ridden all over town, played football for PT for two hours, then could not make it up the hill. He laughed, then said he would not want to climb the hill with one gear either. D:
Then, I decided I would train to make it up the hill all the time, which I do now. Before that, I had only made it up the hill twice. It does not look that bad, but it becomes hard as soon as you start climbing it.
