   Every cyclist knows that the force on the pedals depends strongly on the   
   gear (that's the point of multiple gears). So B's force on the pedals   
   could be greater, equal, or less than A's, depending on the gears used   
   by the two cyclists.   
      
   	10 m/s up a steep ascent requires a professional cyclist   
   	(think Tour de France). But 1 m/s is too slow to maintain   
   	good control of the bike; get off and walk.
