..can be found in New Zealand.
Called
Baldwin Street in Dunedin, the street has a slope of 35%.
And there was me thinking the Brits were good at building steep roads, this just beats the steepest one I've come across (and cyled up) of 22% in Cornwall

Wahh... thats old news... i've been there last year
Theres a race to the top every year of ppl trying to run up and down on it the fastest. Some guy did it in 7 mins or so. We tried it.. took at least 15 to get from the starting line to the top... and he ran back as well
so they say
Lots of maniacs that visit new zealand rent a car, go there and race to the top and back down.. it's insane to watch. If u don't brake in time at the bottom u slam into someones house. And if u brake too much they get too hot, kinda dangerous.
Boeie!!!!!! En nou opzouten met je hele droge hol!

I have cycled up a few steep slopes in my time but that looks like a 'get off and walk' job to me.
Feel knackered just looking at it
Dutchy the Brits are to blame for this road as well m8

Time to dig the skateboard out of the cupboard and lube those trucks
whhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee THUD
Anyone noticed it took a dtuchman to find this one - they got a fixation with anything that resembles a slope imo
Whoever said 'nothing's impossible' obviously never tried to nail jelly to a tree
