I commiserate and empathise Dogtrousers I regularly ride past a bus stop where people can admire my superhero strength as i swoosh by.....this is going down hill with a tail wind. When im going past the other way..uphill...headwind I thought i might tape a loaded pistol on the handlebars so i can take an easy exit if the embarrassment level goes beyond excruciating.Not sure where I fit in
I have "embarrassingly low gear" of a spinner on my bike. Unfortunately I'm "unable to produce sufficient torque" so I have to grit my teeth and force the gear over at low cadence, grinder style. Occasionally I can't even manage this, so to avoid coming to a complete stop I have to stand up and wrestle the bike honker-style. All this takes place at a speed that is only marginally above falling-over speed. I'm kind of worst of all possible worlds.
I remember going up one of my local steep hills and seeing a rider up ahead come to a halt, dismount, and start pushing. Although I managed to keep going I was unable to close the gap on them. In fact I think they may have opened it up a bit.

So long as it's only breathing it no one's business. Farting on the other hand...How about a heavy breather too, which is what I am when I go uphill. Under effort, I just can't breathe quietly so it's breathe in and out like a steam engine and couldn't care less if somebody is behind me.

Imagine combination of a spinner, fartakus, and fornicatorYou’ve forgotten the fornicator; someone who groans in rhythm to every pedal stroke.
