One needs a certain amount of forward speed to maintain balance easily

Not true. One just needs to practice static balance. It's a great skill to have so everyone should learn how to do it.

Also you can use the lowest gear going almost a walking pace and climb up really steep hills. That's how we do it on MTBs. It also requires practice and good balance.

Ah, that would be a nice skill. I might even be better equipped for it now than when I was young because I've gotten into roller skating and improved my balance that way.
