They're not easy with a heavy ass, either.

Yeah, that's usually what hurts me - getting to anything steep enough that it requires/encourages standing late in the day is liable to make my quads twitch in protest, warning of a full work-stoppage if things continue unabated.

Do you have any bailout options if you were to embark on this route?
