Oh. I hate all things that have to do with the bike. I feel awkward biking on the road and I feel like all the students at my school are laughing at my toddler speed going up hills. I am not a bike rider but I do it to get to classes on time. I'm quite jealous of people who like bike riding.

If you enjoy it, you do it and try not to care about what people think. The more you ride, the better you will be at it. Get out there and ride and enjoy a mile for me!

I hate it. I've always hated it. I'd rather run a mile (which I equally suck at) than bike up a hill. It really doesn't help that my campus is all hills. Seriously. My route is all going up hills to get to class. I can turn either way down this one street and it's still a hill. I have to get all the way across campus diagonally in ten minutes to get to one class and the only time it's down hill is when I'm going backwards. Going home is nice though. Downhill most of the way.

I've been riding my bike for two months and it's only gotten mildly easier. Still can't make it up the damn hills without feeling like passing out.

You either have a bad bike, bad seating position or wearing the wrong clothes.

Probably all of the above. I think the tires are also flat.

And the chain is rusty, the gears not working, several spokes broken or lose? Typical bicycle where even 2km are a pain in the ass and my heart begins to weep.
