Is it OK to get off your bike and walk up a hill? ================================== Failure is a subjective term: is it a fail if you have to get off and walk up a hill? Or a win because you’ve bitten off more than you can chew and are doing it anyway? I tend to lean heavily towards the latter. Some of the biggest technology improvements in bikes in recent years have been around gears. With 11 speed cassettes and three rings at the front, it’s possible to carry gears that will let you ride slower than walking if necessary with virtually no weight penalty. Having to walk just means, a) you learned something about bikes, or b) you are pushing yourself to do something challenging. Either way, in my book, that’s a win. ~Chris Boardman, Olympic gold medalist, multiple Tour de France prologue winner and British Cycling’s policy advisor theguardian/environment/bike-blog/2015/jan/16/is-it-ok-to-get-off-your-bike-and-walk-up-hill
