Drew: I use my super secret prototype anti-gravity unit I found in the trash while dumpster diving in the future. You all think I ride up all these mountains? Grin. I don't do stairs though. They monkey with my vertigo big time, so I'm not sure how an anti-grav unit would effect your experience.
Lungimsam! Pedal, one foot after the other. My bike fully loaded with food and water and gear for a week of fun weighs 280 pounds including 200 pound engine. That's all pre-antigrav unit, of course. It weighs minus ten pounds when I get to hills (depending on speed and grade -- the biggest trick is matching momentum to grade to anti-pounds. After that the biggest trick is looking like I'm pedaling hard. Grin.
