I don't know a lot about biking, especially up big inclines but I do know slow and steady wins, and when theres momentum, rhythm and stamina you should be able to get it done. Also don't be afraid to fall, the fear will mess with your mind every time.

Yes, I think so too, sometimes its hard to change cultures where rituals and traditions are a big part of who they are and who they come from ancestrally. Theres a lot of stuff out there that most would consider wrong but there are still those that do drink real human blood and societies that...
