Hi there, I recently started cycling to work and I'm not that fammiliar with the gears. These are the things I've picked up after a week,
1) Choose a gear before coming to a slope.
2) Pedal but don't apply full pressure to the pedals.
Now these seem to be helping but is there any thing else I should know?
Also, for some reason I have a much harder time with gears on the way home (guess i'm more tired) which usualy results in me throwing the bike in the garage shouting "it's broken". This usually happens when I'm trying to shift from 2 to 3 on the front thing, I don't undrerstand why this is happening, I feel like I'm going fast enough to put it in 3 but I can only think I'm so tired after a day at work that I think I'm going faster than I am, could it be the bike?
Thanks
