Never heard of it, but was prompted to look it up. Love this entry in Wikipedea
As you walk near the bottom of the hill you will often smell burning brakes from cars.

Shouldn't that be:

I've been up and down it a few times in a car, but I have no plans to go near it on a bike. I have plenty of hills of my own here, thank you :smile:

I do remember being passenger in a car as a kid while an older relative tried to drive up it. He stalled on one of the hairpins, and completely destroyed his clutch trying to get going again. I learnt a few new swear words when the blokes with the tow truck found out where we'd "broken down".
