I'm glad i'm cycling in 2009,not in 1911.Sneaking out on a sunday morning to go "cycling" whatever next! I must say though i was very surprised to see t'northeners dismounting every time the road went ever so slightly upwards.Is that still the DONE thing up north?Or can you now tackle slight gradients?
