Italian term or phrase: rapporti agili
This is from a website on cycling routes and the context is:

Explanation:
The Gears

Now that you've determined what kind of hill you're approaching, it's time to choose the proper gear. The lower the gear, the less effort is needed to move the bike forward. You'll be moving slower, but when going uphill, this is crucial.
