    I love really stupidly steep hills! If you don't think you can ride it
    you can just lean back and bail, thats one advantage of unicycles. On a
    bike you are pretty much commited once you go over the edge.

    But on a bike you can roll down and use only brakes rather than
    worrying about not being able to pedal fast enough, or your legs giving
    way.

    No no no no no no nooooooooo! Im talking about -stupidly- steep hills.
    At Mmmm we saw a guy go down a stupid steep hill on a bad ass shopping
    bike and when he pulled the front brake on he almost went over the
    handlebars, then he almost fell in the brambles! Then he carried on as
    if nothing had happened! It took us all a while to recover from that
    laughing fit!
    Ah, good times!

    If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room!
