So, if you find yourself struggling to stay on the bike the whole way up the climb, we’ve got a series of pointers that may help you figure out why you’re climbing wrong!

1:37 bro really went into the granny gear
Going to a ski lift park to only ride downhill, not climb, is throwing half the sport away. The better half.
I just change mode or push the boost, no need to crunch those gears.
I’m just getting back on a mountain bike after many years. Much appreciated!
How do you handle cliped in on those tough climbs where you are likely to not make it through without putting feet down. I’m learning to ride cliped in but it’s very hard to remove when in these situations. Sometimes I can take out early but wonder how the pros do it while clipped in with those tiny pedals. I’ve got the reversible ones and my shoes are basically regular shoes with cleats so it’s easier. But I’ve fallen a couple times at steep climbs where I couldn’t go further. Please help.
