Towards the center of the Earth. Really. Down, basically. If you're trying to go uphill, you'll get pulled backwards. If you're going downhill, you'll get pulled forwards, because of the slope of the hill and the action of the wheels.

Gravity is very helpful as a means of keeping you on your seat without being

strapped down, and keeping your cycle in contact with the ground most of

the time. Gravity also makes it easier to go downhill, and harder to go uphill.

It pulls you down, making your job much easier because that causes you to move downhill since the bottom of the hill is closer to the center of the earth than the top of the hill.
