Article Abstract:
Shifting down one or two gears may help a stalled biker resume his or her cycling rhythm smoothly and efficiently on steep, rough climbs. He or she should straddle the bike with one foot on the ground, angle the bike across a steep trail to mount, look 10 feet up the hill, pick a line and push off.
