Was up today and I do usually see people push their bikes up often, but today was crazy! Over a dozen riders I passed going up that where pushing. Do people not pedal anymore???

Ladies is buff, and lots of fun on the bike bike!

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.

I would have pedaled today, but the people I was riding with were walking, so I walked too

i was one of the "pushers" today.. my STD is way to DH-oriented to ride up for long..

i have a granny on it for short burst climbs but something like Grousse, its actualy easier to push up then spend the energy fighting that bastard in the saddle..

but soon i'll have my new G-spot done, then its pedal up time for sure…

I pedaled up from Dempsey Braemar. Loverly day. Breaking in the new dog. Only had to run into him a couple times but he doesn't know the way yet.

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

Hikiling is the new sport. Make sure to push from both sides or you could end up with the dreaded Hikiling arm.

Life is like riding a bicycle – in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving.

I thought I'd be a pusher today, as only had a single ring on the Uzzi. Much to my surprise I pedaled up the whole way. A few more times and it might not hurt so much.

People ride bikes uphill???

Being an agoraphobic adrenaline junkie would be pretty convenient, because you could get your rush from just going to the store to get some milk instead of having to jump off a mountain or out of an airplane.

they also call me "balloon"

I pedaled from where we parked our cars to Ladies isn't bad on a DH bike (FF and armor).
After Ladies there's one hill after the gravel culvert thing that's a bitch, but after
that it's not bad at all. Mind you I do have a granny gear so there's no excuse for
me not to pedal…even at my age.
