You are!
I have experienced it several times. One rather amusing example was when I was out doing the old Pendle Pedal sportive. I was riding down to the crossroads at Quernmore. I would be turning left at the crossroads and tackling a stiff climb up to the Jubilee Tower monument.
Tough climb that - I well remember doing it at the end of a long ride.
My current favourite bike has a 22-32-42 and an 11-34 at the back. Only 8 speed but has pretty much all the gears I need. Been thinking of changing the 42 for a 44. I rather like its gearing - encourages me to spin/dance on the pedals.
