Uphill and Downhill both describe difficult times ahead

  1. Its all downhill from here.

  2. Its all uphill from here.

Both have similar meanings in this context.

doesn't uphill mean it's getting better? so no difficult times ahead?

But like, if you were walking or riding a bike, uphill would definitely not be easier.

yes, sure. but by definition there are just opposits. they don't talk about actual hills, that's why your example doesn't work. it goes downhill = bad stuff gonna happen. uphill = good stuff gonna happen. riding a bike uphill is a downhill =D
