Bike tourers are lawless creatures, ones who, when pushed to their absolute limits, you may find camping in your front yard. But they, or at least we, try to avoid climbing hills whenever possible. Come watch as we find out that hills are everywhere. They're unescapable. Even Islands can have hills... lots of them as it turns out. Anyways, we put together this video to show you a few invaluable lessons and time tested strategies for coping with these pesky hills and so much more. And, if you make it to the end of this video, as if it weren't a good enough deal already... we'll reveal the reason some of us share deodorant...

Now seriously, if you just read all that, you should probably be subscribed.
