I was riding a friend's bike in france a couple of weeks ago and the hills were surprisingly steep. His (cheap and heavy) bike had one of those mega granny rings which meant I basically had to turn the pedals round twice to make the wheel go round once.
Then I got chased by a dog. A little dog. I had to escape, uphill, in that teeny gear. It must have been the most ridiculously slow chase ever.
