Thanks for the tip - I've been doing this in the flats, trying to be light
on the bike, and light on the handlebars, especially - more aerodynamic.
Thought I'd try it on the hills and had a really great ride just now,
hitting one of the steeper, longer hills I hadn't tried before in my
neighborhood - went up it like a rocket, too. Cool! This is how I remember
when riding as a kid in college. Thx for reminding me. ;-)
