Go back down and try again.

The other possible problem with uphill, downhill and crested roads is that bikes tend to wheelie over them. This isn't really a problem unless you have to make a turn while the front wheel is still in the air. The rear brake will help to keep the front down.

Alternative spelling of wheely (“having wheels; mounted on wheels”).
