resistance

It was not exactly pleasant to drag this up the hill, but the low gearing meant I didn't need to stand up and it only took five minute for the gate-to-crest bit which takes me four on a normal bike. It was perhaps not the best day to try it wearing normal officewear, but a least my black T-Shirt hid the sweat (though my light flaxen employment-trousers felt like they didn't).
