Of course it is because of the rider. All bicycle can be use to ride up incline, even single speed or fixies, so as long as the rider has strong legs and stamina.

A sifu once told me. "Use the right tool for the right purpose". sure u can ride an mtb on road. But it aint as fast as an rb given the same rider on the saddle. Hey, adriankhoo rode his foldie offroad too, though i believe it would be much easier for him to ride an mtb on the same trail.

The bicycle is only a tool. Just that some bicycle can climb effectively and efficiently while some is less as effective and efficient. Give that same rider different bicycle, he still can climb the same incline. The only difference how much energy he had spent and the time taken to do the same hill. That's all.

Is B always parked in a folding position? I find it strange that every time i see someone's photo with a B, it is always in a folded position. hmm.gif

Tht is jz partially folded.

It is very easy to do, so they don't need a side stand to keep the bike up. But if the rear rack is loaded then kenot jz park liddat...

However there's one thing that bothers me the stock pedals. Plastic! Thinking wanna change them with metal pedals. Any good one out there that have QR or folding function? Which one do you use?

Look for magnesium platform pedals from welgo. But too bad it aint foldable or qr, but i can tell you it feels whole lot more solid than those folding pedals. Every step on the pedal gives u the feeling of "all my strength goes into pushing this bike, none wasted"

That's why you need the big bag in front, nothing at the back so you can still "park".... nod.gif
