Lots of Things Can Be Exposed on ‘The Climb’

By Steve Casimiro | August 8, 2018

After a recent breakup, two friends have a long conversation on a steep hill. And, OMG, it’s a conversation for the ages.

“Thanks.”

“Sure.”

“For getting me out here, for this, for the bike.”

“It looks good on you.”

If your ears are sensitive or you’re in a cubicle, be forewarned language is definitely NSFW.

I thought for sure he was tricking the guy as a way to get him to pedal harder. Hilarious.

I think the guy behind is in the wrong gear — perhaps in all aspects of his life.
Or, maybe he’s bringing up the rear on a Sturmey-Archer 3-speed.
