Way back in the early 2000's there was a pro bicycle race in San Francisco. Lance and the Posties were in it. I think it was called the Tour of San Francisco or something . The riders made multiple laps of the course which included some really steep hills. The nice part of watching the race on one of the hills was that the riders were really going slow so you could see then struggle and sweat. Some riders even zig zagged up the hills. I wish SF still had a big time pro race on the steep streets.

There was also a short, steep prologue time trial up Telegraph Hill to start the Coors Classic in 1986, shortly after the Tour de France had ended. Ron Kiefel of the 7-11 team, known for his uphill sprinting ability, won the stage by a solid margin. It was an impressive sight.

Hi from Dunedin. Those San Francisco climbs definitely are steeper than Baldwin. The thing about Baldwin is that it's just a perfectly regular normal street, one of hundreds of steep ones in Dunedin, and when I was a kid we never really thought much about it. It was no tourist attraction then. My youngest son has the KOM.

I hope you had a chance to ride around in Golden Gate Park on a Sunday, or rode through the Presidio. That super steep part of Baker, that comes out on Broadway, is beside the mansion of one of the Spreckles sisters, or used to be anyway, she would have passed away by now. My best friend knew her personal assistant, so we got a tour of the house. I am pretty sure that entire wall you are riding next to is the side of the house. That place was 5 stories, on the side of the hill. Great view of Alcatraz. She had a Picasso in her kitchen. The Getty's owned the house across the street. I lived in SF for 4 years and commuted by bicycle about 99% of the time, GREAT bike city. A lot of steep streets, but there are a lot of ways to go where you don't see too much traffic. A few months after the earthquake, I almost got killed going down Broderick near the Marina. Apparently, there was damage to a sewer pipe or something, which washed the ground out under the road, which collapsed. I was going to my friend's place on Greenwich, sort of near where they did the car chase in Bullitt. The road was just gone, big ass hole. I almost went in, I was going sort of fast, but swerved around it. I went and stood in the street until a car came, so he could block it, and went to ring someone's doorbell to call the cops, or whoever you call for a big hole in the street. Lady poked her head out the window and was yelling for me to quit ringing her bell. She looked up, saw the hole and about fell out of her window. It was pretty freaky

The steep hills of San Francisco are the reason for high maintenance costs on diesel buses in the city's public transportation system. Buses have broken down on Sacramento Street going up Nob Hill forcing passengers to disembark and walk up the hill. Three diesel bus lines have since been converted to electric trolleybuses.

Santa Barbara, CA has a steep street called N San Marcos Road. Once you get to the top, you cross the hwy and continue on to Painted Cave Road. I used to ride up and then down three times a day, five days a week for exercise. I also used to ride up Gibraltar Road and then take Tunnel Trail down. N San Marcos Road is very steep and also long. Some of the sections are steeper than what you road in this video if you take the inside corner but it's just a very short steep section. I used to challenge myself and take the inside right next to the edge of the asphalt. Check it out and see what I'm talking about. I road my mountain bike down the cement steps on Lombard Street once in San Francisco. I made it 3/4's of the way down and went over my bars. I hit my ribs on the edge of the pipe hand rails and broke a few ribs. That was it for me that day. I wanted to see if I could do it. Were you 4th place on that top ten list?

San Marcos and Painted Trail are super steep (especially for how long they are)! I rode them this August on a long ride. Ended up with over 13k feet of elevation in one ride 🤯 I can’t imagine doing it 5x. You’re a beast dude!

@@MitchBoyer I used to ride up it 3 times a day or Gibraltar Road. I switched it up all the time but liked going up gill the best because of the exercise. I moved away to the snow country and gave up ridding which I love. Can't ride in the winter where I live.

I've lived in SF for a while and I bought my first ever road bike. I was living in Lombard and there are a lot of ridiculous climbing there. My favourite place though is a very soft climb to the hawk hill towards Rodeo Beach

Now go across the bay and ride up Marin Avenue in Berkeley from The Circle at Arlington Avenue. What it lacks in grade (not much) it more than makes up for in length.

I loved riding in San Francisco, but it's the downhills you have to watch out for.. You can pick up speed really fast and cars just pop out of the side streets. Takes an alert attitude and a good helmet.

Great video! I might be one of the only (if not the only?) people in the world that has done Dunedin, Dirty Dozen, all of those SF hills (except Baker…madness) and Waipio in Hawaii. Dunedin is a joke, not that steep. It took me 6 tries to get up Canton in Pittsburgh, not necessarily because of the steepness (37%) but because of the slick, irregular cobbles. Waipio is the the hardest because of the length (1 mile!). But I still haven’t made it up Broderick. I spin out every single time at 47%. Brutal! Well done making it up. I think the key to Baker is taking a mountain bike up those stairs so you don’t have to start in the incline lol.

Oh man, you're out here living my dream! Interesting to hear your thoughts. I've wondered about the cobbles on Canton--they look pretty deep in all the pictures. Thanks for watching dude! Once I catch up and complete them all, we'll have to compare notes.
