Default Climbing: riding on the tops vs riding on the brake hoods

| climbing style.

Riding on the tops is more Macho.

You sit way back on the saddle, hands just lightly resting on the tops
- like you were tickling the ivories.

Then no matter how you're hurting, when the lads start grunting and
groaning, you survey the opposition whilst giving them all a big
smile.

****es them right off and can work to your advantage
