There is something delightful about riding a bicycle. Once mastered, the simple action of pedaling to move forward and turning the handlebars to steer makes bike riding an effortless activity.

Good gearing takes care of most hills, and new electric bikes handle tougher hills than that, or get you where you're going without getting sweaty, but a regular bike will usually suffice.

@ampersandrew @ernest you speak as if you think I've never ridden a bike.

No gearing makes riding up hills "effortless" and sure if you're being pushed up by a motor that's fine, but that's not really a bike, it's a motorbike.
