Efficiency
I live on top of a big hill. It's about a 10 minute walk, all at a decent angle. I'm walking home tonight, and I see a kid on a bike ahead of me. I get halfway up the hill, I am ahead of the kid on the bike. If riding a bike up a steep hill is more work, and slower, why wouldn't he just walk it up? I don't understand.

andrew its all in the satisfaction after you get to the top..... and then the ride down feels better
Amazing viewpoint, Shayla! I still hope he doesn't have to be anywhere quickly though...
ya well if you had to be somewhere quickly you would just walk up... and thanks! :)
You could look at it as a net gain in efficiency. If it takes him 25% longer to get to the top, but it's 75% faster to get to the bottom: net win, right?
.... ya
You sure the biker wasn't singing "I think I can, I think I can" as he petaled?
"Petaled". LIKE A FLOWER.
lol depends on the age...........
