I hear some cyclists praise riding on flat terrain while others swear by hill climbing. I am not sure which is better. I think that cyclist should try both and see what the best is for him. What do you like: Hill or Flat training? Do you spend most of the time riding on a Flat terrain or up Hills?
Good cyclist should be able to ride both. It requires somewhat different training and strength but that is what makes good athlete. I ride on flat terrain as well as uphill. Cycling on flat terrain requires speed and endurance while steep ascends can be conquered only with strong muscles which are able to sustain hard work.
