Cyclists back then must have been made of cast iron. Nobody had anything
more advanced than a Sturmey-Archer three-speed [1], and yet they still
tackled open roads, hills, whatever. Makes my 27-speed setup seem a bit
wimpish really.

Belay that! In part two, they have to get off and push up a hill!

[1] Some, of course, would deny that any such thing exists.

Unbelay that! Depsite a similarly unnecessary number of gears, I've
been reduced to walking a couple of times too.
Evidently I'm not made of cast-iron either. snif
