I grew up in Edinburgh, which is quite a hilly place. As kids we had to ( chose to ) get creative about getting assistance up the hills on our bikes. Mostly involved grabbing hold of the back of a flatbed truck to get a tow up the Mound. Between the obvious potential pitfalls of that and the cloud of diesel smoke you would have to endure while doing so, it would probably give the hi viz generation apoplexy. Not many of us died. ;-)
