It's not what you think though...

 

[arallsopp]

Blimey. I'd need strong shins to pull that off on a recumbent. I'll stick to pedalling for now.

So you have to put something on your shoe for it to take you up?

Fab, I live at the top of one of Sheffields biggest hills and arrive home sweaty and purple - My neighbour often comments that he thinks its about time the council installed an esculator for me!

 

[oliglynn]

Could have done with that whilst at uni in Bath - All the hills up to the uni are devilish!

Read about this a while ago and despite what you might think if its getting more people on bikes, good stuff. Says its being going 15 years so must be popular?

 

[DrSquirrel]

I'm not saying its bad at all, its just not like a belt or something like you'd might imagine

 

[Sara_H]

Cant see the British Health and Safety Police allowing it TBH

Was talk about installing cable cars many years ago. One of the many things in the history of these things that never happened!

That's brilliant!

Man up, Widcombe's not too bad, used to hurt me far more racing down them. (Oh and what years where you at Bath, 00-04 here)

02-07 for me - used to ride up North Road mainly, legs permitting!

One year I lived in Kingsway (above Oldfield park) and would ride 5 flat miles through Odd Down and Combe down.

 

[fossyant]

Yeh, more people getting lardy ar$ed.

What's wrong with a hill, love em.

did anybody notice that the escalator went into oncoming traffic. Perhaps they should do that with cycle lanes might make drivers think twice if they had to look into your eyes before they mowed you down
