[denzzz28]

nice one, but this is easy peasy compare to the Japanese who did the Baldwin street climb with 5 fully loaded panniers.

[tali4569]

pretty easy with a running start i did today from standstill at base it took me 4 tries but u really have to explode in the first 10 ft and stay to right n stay straight . i did lombard st its a lot more to deal with just being that long . canton is pretty easy for a sprinter from pittsburgh like me i mean i ride to wheeling along the river mountians now its endless the 3 mile climbs that get u . canton ave for a old road racer aint nothing

Fuck this street! This street is Kansas flat compared to Lombard Street in San Fransisco!

[bcubed72]

@rudypoodoo Lombard is only 27% to Canton's 37%...and it WINDS. Couldn't go "straight up" if you wanted to!

There's the difference between San Fransicans and us Yinzers...SF snakes the road around so that residents don't get butthurt (pun intended) about the grade...in da' Burgh, it's 37%, you're expected to go STRAIGHT UP...and deal with the cobblestones while you're at it!

Now lets see you do it in the big ring no standing.

[bluemarvin27]

ours is about 40% and 3 km long one way and the other side about 6 km and a lot steeper.this street is easy.should learn how to post those videos...

[francerebiz]

i know of a street in swansea wales where i used to live which is steeper than that in bryn y mor.... i was scared to drive down it. i wish i could be bothered to drive 2 hours to film it and upload it as proof but i can't.

[sprintbass]

where i grew up in winston salem there used to be this street called sumit st, it also was short but my god steep! Where i live in ohio nothing is that steep

[xpez]

it may be steep but not very long...

to get any STREET CRED it has to be WAY long too...

[cadd918]

Wow! That's steep!

[thinknitude]

Good thing he's wearing that low-drag biking outfit. Otherwise the wind friction would have done him in.
