The problem is not slowing down, it's accelerating. If I have to use more force to accelerate, I'm more likely to loose control (or so I think)

You mean lose traction on the rear wheel (climbing etc)?

A lower gear will let you stay seated longer, putting your weight over the rear wheel for better traction. The higher cadence through slippery corners is an acquired taste, but it's all good.

Heh, very difficult to stay seated on the descent if your saddle height isn't set correctly.

Bouncy bouncy, oh such a good time.
