A while back I posted a picture I had taken of a street a few blocks from where I grew up. Everyone seemed to feel it didn't look like that bad of a hill. I figured it had to be a bad photo then.
Ladies (and some gents) I give you Boustead St, Pittsburgh PA.

And before anyone asks, NO, I've never taken my bike up OR down it. Heck, when showing it to out of town guests, I don't even drive my manual transmission car UP, only down. I have toyed with taking my bike, with the Garmin on, and walking it up Boustead, just to get the info.Though it looks like someone did ride this and the only hill in Pittsburgh worse than this, and put it up on motionbased. http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/6367988
Yeah, so coming from Pittsburgh, I have a special affinity for the new TE shirt - I love hills, I love them not.![]()
