"Footer about" with your front wheel, you get to stop and also look like you know what you're doing .
Nothing to be ashamed of if you dont mind the fact you quit.
Me ive never got of my bike, and im no way near fit i just refuse to give it, ive gone so slow ive nearly fallen off and ive zig zagged up holme moss but no i wouldnt dream of getting off until i fall off
Yep thats the excuse i use, have a break, have a drink and soak up the scenery, part way up a steep hill is always the best place to stop for a drinkbut it's ok to stop and have a drink or look at the scenery, but obviously a poor show to stop and have a rest.

40% is 1 in 2½ in old money, unless I am mistaken. I thought the steepest road in England was Rosedale Chimney Bank, which is reckoned to be 1 in 3 overall. I haven't cycled up it, but I have walked it with a heavy pack, and it's like climbing the side of a house. 40% is a mistake, surely. Unless anyone knows better ...40%?????
I've walked up hills, and when I first started I would note where I walked and try to get that little bit further each time. And then the first time you get to the top is fantastic. I am prepared to cycle slowly getting to the top or stop for a breather or get off and push depending on how I feel.
And there, ladies and gentlemen, is the best piece of advice you will ever get.It's your ride, do what you want. If anyone tells you different then tell them to beggar off.
