Just about every time I go up or down a hill, it sounds and feels like the chain went to a new gear automatically. The deal is, however, the gears on my bike are a Shimano 21-speed manual. Also, the changing gears doesn't really help me. How do I fix this?
People still ride bikes?

Quite a lot, actually (at least where I live).

I live about a mile out of town, on a highway, and I have a gravel driveway, I don't have anywhere to ride. edumacate;
And its too much work to rig it up to my car and haul it off somewhere.

My bike got stolen. I have come up with a simple equation to determine the likelihood of your bike getting stolen
[IMG]http://i31.tinypic.com/23kbvq0.png[/img]
d is the distance from the ghetto, while n is the number of cops patrolling the area. As the distance(in blocks from the ghetto) decreases the likelyhood of your bike getting stolen approaches one. If you live in the ghetto(d=0), you'd know that people from the ghetto don't steal one another's bikes.

I'll deal with that later, but for now, I'm afraid my bike may break somehow. Are my gears ok?
oops i realized that the distance and number of cops should be flipped.

If anything, the derailer is just slipping as you go uphill, check the cables and make sure they are tight.

Before I can be absolutely certain about my check, is the derailer the part nearby the pedal or the back wheel? Because I noted some damage to one of the cables that lead to the back wheel (it isn't the brakes). It is tight, but it isn't straight.

That would probably be your problem.
They are both Derailers as far as I know (unless the one on the back weel has a different name).

Well I'll examine the derailer with the damaged cable to see if it is just looser than I last checked. If it is damaged, then I'll have to replace it (if I can).

Why not? Is the gear dial going to break? baddood; Besides, I can go downhill just fine, as long as the path is even (i.e. sidewalk).
