| Hill start Yep, it's one of 'those' questions! I've never done one and not sure how to go about it. If I get caught short on the slope at the end of my drive, I just roll back to the straight and have another go at getting to the top flat bit. Coming home tonight I got stuck in the 0.5 mph crawling traffic up a flyover and it occurred to me that if this happened on my bike, I wouldn't be too confident on how to do a hill start. Soooooooo, how do you all do your's? |
