Hi Guys,
I've been cycling for the last 60+ years but have reached the stage where cycling up hills is no longer the challenge it once was and am looking I'm for a little help on the steepest ones. I used to cycle camp around France with 30lbs of kit on board but the change over from the Frank to the Euro seemed to be the time things became less attractive over there. So now I'm happy doing local rides up to perhaps 20 miles or so, but living in a very hilly part of the country the prospect of going out is no longer pleasurable. Also, the increase in ICU driven road traffic over the last few decades is particularly noticeable, anyone who was cycling in the 1950s will remember those last halcyon days of traffic free roads. Anyway, I'm presently following the thread about eBay Kits, so I will be bouncing a few questions off our learned forum members over there soon.
