Very busy street with no bike path or bike lane. I even thought I was not allowed to cycle here but there are no prohibition signs anywhere. The street consists partly of multiple lanes so cars sometimes come right past you. Then the Alsdorfer Strasse is a much nicer way to ride up.
The climb itself is in the beginning interrupted by traffic lights, but the largest and steepest part is traffic light free.
Going down is nice, by the way. The bus lane can also be used by cyclists.
Zeer drukke straat zonder fietspad of fietsstrook. Ik dacht zelfs dat ik hier niet eens mocht fietsen maar er zijn nergens verbodsborden. De straat bestaat deels uit meerdere rijstroken dus auto's komen soms vlak langs je heen. Dan is de Alsdorfer Strasse een veel leukere manier om naar boven te rijden.
De klim zelf wordt in het begin onderbroken door verkeerslichten, maar het grootste en steilste stuk is verkeerslicht-vrij.
Afdalen is trouwens wel lekker. De busbaan mag namelijk ook door fietsers gebruikt worden.
