No hurry.  I'm sure Svend or BW or Ron will see it at some point.

Yes to the layout, sort of the same problem as the ski reviews being at the bottom of the old layout.
I'm OK with the biking stuff being "second class" citizens compared to the main view.  Certainly like the ski reviews up top, and High Angles or others may have suggestions for more/different categories of ski reviews.

Part of the problem in this particular incident was that I was already in my lowest gear heading up the hill, so very little wheel rotation was generated from that initial push of the pedal when I restarted.  So I learned that I need to be up a couple of gears when starting, less torque to the wheel => less spinning of the wheel => more wheel rotation and momentum.  But getting started uphill is a challenge.  Hard to pedal one footed while trying to get the other foot cleated in.
