I didn't even ride a bike until I was almost 50, so my balance isn't what it should be. I can ride fine on the flat, but hills scare me. My partner took me out to one of the National Parks here one weekend - the first hill was almost vertical and downhill. I walked my bike down it - no way was I going to ride that. I'd been riding for about a month at that point. So gentle rolls I can handle, but anything more than that and I get off and walk! I admire anyone who can ride long distances, but I guess not learning as a kid has put me at a distinct disadvantage. Maybe I should try a 3-wheeler??!!:)
