This is the big one, Cycling California’s Steepest Streets “Season Finale.” I was surprised to learn in my research that San Francisco has several streets (Broderick St., Baker St., and Bradford St.) steeper than the Guinness World Record Offical “World’s Steepest Street.”

Just use an inclinometer.
What gear ratio your using for all these climb?
Very steep roads need a bigger cassette and smaller chainrings.
Mitch, you are Bad Ass X10!! Coming from a guy who rides SF every weekend with the Swell Rides Group!
I’m so glad my garmin navigation tells me ahead of time of an elavations. Can’t imagine get my shoes stuck on pedals and start moving backwards lol
LOMBARD IS NOT THE WORLD'S CROOKEDEST STREET!! It's not even the crookedest street in San Francisco. Vermont Street, always overlooked.
I don’t even want to walk on that street 😂😂 it’s steep AF
I bet you, there's a paved street on the center of Puerto Rico that is steeper than any of those. You can only go up in a 4×4.
Mitch…What do you have for gearing ? LOL
SO SWEET
Awesome work. Very fun video to see.
That last one is a path, not a street.
I had problem walking these street 😀
What's your crank set at? and your rear cassette? and what the total bike wait? I love riding hills and looking for a good climbing bike? Thanks!!
BTW……heck of a climb and great job not giving up!!!!!! 👊
Been there and done that on my 1961 Schwinn Continental when I was 15.
There are 2 streets in Austin TX area that are very steep. One on the north side of Lake Travis that has grooves across it for uphill traction. The other one is further out there. You have to get a running start in a car. I started up it at the bottom in my car and all I could do was smoke my tires until I backed up and got a running start.
You the man
Guinness is full of shit.
There is a ridiculously steep street in Altadena CA . It's just really short, only a couple of blocks.
I’m surprised that this video doesn’t have at least a million views
I was traveling to Euboea Greece, and I had an AirBnB booked for the night. The street to reach it was easily ~30% if not more. In addition, it was super narrow and very curly.
Daaammm !!! Is was just in the city drivin up them streets o my goodness your a champ ! Foreal!!
I don't think I can do beyond 20+%. Forget riding up these streets, I'd be scared to ride them down.
I lived in San Francisco last summer. Used to go to work via Taylor Street. I was often late and had to run up&downhill. The amount of agony I was in daily….I don't have the words to describe it. But hey, I picked up trail running this year, and it def. helped =))
DO they make 48 tooth casettes? X-D
harlech in wales uk i am not far from there its the steepest on earth it says so on your list 37.5
Yeah, so, the numbers on your wahoo don't mean anything. You have to use proper measurement equipment to measure the angle of the road. The wahoo looks at your speed and a laggy estimate of elevation change to guess the grade.
lol dude puts in 500 W and thinks its a MASSIVE effort, you need to ride more
absolutely great video, congrats. I'm really sorry Baker didn't record. I think you should redo that street next time you are there.
