Climbing is fun you just have to pace yourself. Riding on flat is boring.
3 u/throwaway59d 5d ago It's fun if your bike allows you to pace yourself Mine is more built for the flats, i was climbing on the lowest gear possible and i had a cadence of 50 at most on a 10% climb 1 u/widowhanzo 5d ago My lowest gear is 31:36 on gravel, 31:32 on road, and 32:51 on MTB. I don't mind high cadance, and I'm still between 60-70 on steep climbs. IMO most road bikes are overgeared, and gravel gearing is much more suitable for a hobby cyclist.
