Where does the energy that is used to ride a bicycle up a hill come from and how is it classified?

The energy is in motion, so it's kinetic energy, and it's derived from the food we digest - the primary fuel for cells is glucose. At the top of the hill, in the absence of motion, the kinetic energy converts to potential energy.
