A few examples:

- Pedaling uphill is like swimming against the current; downhill gives you the brief instant of going over the waterfall.
- Uphill is like a sweaty, physical manifestation of how I felt dragging myself into the office every morning for five years. Down is the horrible moment you realize that being fired is even worse.
- When you're pedaling uphill, you're eight years old again, lugging around the lawnmower to make five bucks. Then you rush downhill - that's when you've got the five dollars, and you're soaring to the candy store as fast as your little legs can carry you.
