The Hill
There's a street where the incline is so high, that I sometimes have to shift all the way down to 1st gear to make it to the top. Especially if I have to stop a the light at the bottom of the hill.
Coming down the hill causes my vehicle to gain too much speed.
Again I shifted all the way down to first gear, but this time it didn't help at all. I had to constantly apply the break to keep from gaining too much speed and be able to stop at the light at the bottom of the hill.
Why did shifting to first gear not help reduce the speed when going down the hill?

Because you were not pedaling on the way down. Ha ha first post
ok it is called G R A V I T Y
yeah, michael's right... dude was on a bike, not in a car... and billy bob, shifting into 1st in a car does help slow your descent...
Ok.. i see i'm going to have to come up with some harder puzzles..
yep, he was riding a bicycle.
the pussle said vehicle i have never heard of a bicycle called a vehicle. I thought they didn't let off the clutch after shifting into 1st gear
Vehicles are non-living means of transport. They are most often man-made (e.g. bicycles, cars, motorcycles, trains, ships, boats, and aircraft).
Specifically, a bicycle is classified as a Human Powered Vehicle, or HPV.
hahaha the anon above me said HPV.
hpv is also an acronym for human papilona virus. fancy name but im not sure what it is. i think its a genital disease for both genders.
since when do bikes have to stop at stoplights.
Since they dont want to get hit by a car
It's a bike which by the way is a vehicle. Just because we don't commonly refer to it as one does not change the definition. Much like the internet is a vehicle that gets us to certain information. A vehicle by definition is just a means of getting somewhere whether it be physically, mentally, visually....
Bikes have to obey the same laws as cars do.
A bike is a thing that transports place to place so it is a Vehicle!!!!! and it has to stop at the stop light because he dont want to get it by a car!!!!!! DUH!!!!!
