In response to the OP's query, mostly sitting, as one would imagine from a 2.86. But I can stand for periods of several minutes without too much difficulty. Going up the hill is hard. Standing up doesn't make it appreciably more difficult.
Yeah, so basically he seems to be saying Clydes should avoid hills. Pretty hard to do most places . . .
On the question, I mostly sit unless I can't handle the torque. I've noticed I go much faster when seated, however.
