I read somewhere, I think in Bicycling magazine, that you should
choose your low gears so that you can peddle at 80 rpm over hills
(90 rpm on flats).  Peddling at less than 80 rpm puts alot of stress
on the knees and cause pain and damage.  I would recommend a gear
in the mid-30s for hilly rides, especially with a load.
