Anyway, I rode the infamous Kuhtai alto a few times yesterday (in a cage) and the day before and it kinda ate into my confidence being able to ride it comfortably.
Especially the western slopes are STEEP at time.
And yet, I saw dozens of runners running up on their peculiar road bikes, grinding on granny gears, scoring as low as 40 rpm.

And this brings me back to the question of the day - Why?
Why aren't there proper road bikes with gearings made for wattlets, like yours truly?
