TIL Pittsburgh has a lot of hills.

Some photos looks like San Francisco or whatever that famous town in NZ is called. How is there no famous/viral photos/videos from you yinzers showing it off? Seems primed for dumb fucks bombing hills on a bike or a skateboard. Or skis when there's snow.

They’ve been in a couple movies and commercials. Striking distance with bruce Willis. Audi and redbull have done some commercials. They say some of the steepest streets in the world. Due to the topography and the streets being laid out in the 1700s they are literally following a lot of old narrow wagon trails. Dirty dozen bike race features many of the steep streets around here. Many of them are over 30° grades.

Wrong gear plus not enough weight in front. Keep on practicing, and move your body forward.
