can't believe people bike up this and i can proudly say i have no intention of ever trying. and trust me, the photo doesn't do it justice. not sure if there is a photographic way to really show how steep it is!
I guess the photo does not do it justice at all because it looks pretty much like the hill going up to my house! (in rural NY) FWIW, I "zoom" up my hill at 2.5 mph.

Anyone have a link to the photo mentioned earlier of Canton Ave?
