The ride can be a great place for friends to talk about their lives, their problems, and give/get some relationship advice.

The Climb adds to the narrative as a Rapha’d up bro on a modern bike drops some riding advice and other important news on his skate-lidded mate who’d dragged his old ten-speed out from the basement. The resulting dialogue goes in a direction that no-one expects, and pain comes not only from the physical effort.
