    I think your hill is longer than the one I grew up on. Mine deadended on a busy road and didn't really flatten out. I never rode my bike down it & I'm pretty sure I still wouldn't, but my older brother & I tried to rollerskate down it once.

    It did not end in a pretty fashion.

    We used to sit on our rollerskates (then two can have as much fun as one!) and ride down the hills we lived on. This is one http://tinyurl.com/qu3858
    I burned the wheels on those skates down to nothing. It's a wonder we didn't catch on fire from the sparks. THis hill I would ride up and down. Now, no way I'd go down it but I may try to bike up it. Though the bricks are not helpful. Used to sit in my wagon (which really, zero control of that thing) and go down the hills too. Man, I was a kid without fear (or brains, one could argue). And clearly I had a much smaller butt, since now I think I'd lose a rollerskate there if I tried to sit on it and ride down a hill!

    That is one heck of a hill... not sure I could walk up it

    I grew up in New Jersey, flatlands, and moved to Florida, more flatlands... then got a job transfer to Georgia -- HILLS! There is barely anywhere you can ride in Georgia that is not hilly. Last year I walked up half of them. So far this year, I've managed to climb them all although super-slow.
