Mooie steile straat, maar totaal af te raden om met de (koers)fiets te beklimmen. Vertrekt vanuit de drukke en vuile (opgelet voor glas en scherpe dingen op de grond) achterkant van het noordstation. De klim is bovendien in tegenrichting van het autoverkeer en er is weinig plaats om auto's te kruisen.
A tough climb in an environment that is absolutely hostile to cyclists. To be done only to be able to tick it off on ClimbFinder
Côte dure dans un environnement absolument hostile aux cyclistes. A ne faire que pour pouvoir la cocher sur ClimbFinder
Interesting and pleasant coastline to climb, but dangerous even on car-free day, you have to be careful as it is often crowded.
Cote interessante et agréable à montée, mais dangereuse même le jour de la journée sans voiture, il faut faire attention car elle est souvent bondée.
Included in the route because I live nearby and wanted to tap it. But dangerous because very narrow, cars coming from the other direction, and a quartier where they don't pay much attention to cyclists.
Opgenomen in route omdat ik in de buurt woon en hem wou aftikken. Maar gevaarlijk want zeer smal, auto's komen van de andere richting, en een quartier waar ze weinig met fietsers rekening houden.
Probably one of the worst streets to drive up from Brussels North. It's narrow, crowded, opposite direction and they're not used to cyclists. Moreover, it hurts enormously when you've just stepped off the train with your bike. Avoid at all times.
Waarschijnlijk een van de slechtste straten om naar omhoog te rijden uit Brussel-Noord. Het is smal, druk, tegenrichting en fietsers zijn ze er vaak niet gewend. Bovendien doet het enorm pijn als je met de fiets net uit de trein bent gestapt. Ten allen tijde vermijden.
One of the most difficult climbs in the Brussels-Capital Region, unfortunately located in a very busy and unattractive area, that of the North Station. It is a one-way street in the downhill direction, except for cyclists, who are therefore allowed to climb it... but who will feel it passing them by if they don't have the right gears! You have to be careful: the street is narrow, which is a problem when heavy goods vehicles are coming the other way. I once had to step on the pavement because the driver of one of these vans refused to pull over to the right to let me pass :-(
Une des côtes les plus difficiles de la région de Bruxelles-Capitale, malheureusement située dans un quartier très fréquenté et peu attrayant, celui de la gare du Nord. Elle est en sens unique dans le sens de la descente sauf pour les cyclistes, qui ont donc le droit de la grimper… mais qui la sentent passer s'ils n'ont pas les braquets adéquats ! Il faut s'y montrer prudent : la rue est étroite, ce qui pose problème lorsque des poids lourds viennent dans l'autre sens. J'ai été une fois obligé de monter sur le trottoir parce que le conducteur d'une de ces camionnettes refusait de serrer sur sa droite pour me laisser passer :-(
