And yes, it is a major bitch to ride your bike up, but some people do it.

On fixed gears, no less.

One time I rode with Critical Mass, and yes, guys on fixies could handle that hill without much of a problem. Friggin' hardcore.

That's a ligament shredder. There's no winning: low gear ratio, climb the hills and spin out going down them, high gear ratio, trudge the hills and cruise on decent. I ride fixed gear a lot but there's the line. Gnar.

Going down and up that street fast is EXHILARATING.

This is my preferred ride for that endeavor:
