1 van de vele wegen om aan het rondpunt met "de boom" te raken. Volgens mij de kortste en ook wel de steilste straat. Maar voor je het weet ben je boven.

Probably the steepest street you can ride a bike on in Ghent. This one hits 10％ according to the traffic sign at the top. Watch out for tram tracks and bad road surface when you turn in.

Waarschijnlijk de steilste straat die je in Gent met de fiets op kan rijden. Deze raakt ergens toch wel even 10％ volgens het verkeersbord bovenaan. Opgelet bij het indraaien voor tramsporen en slecht wegdek.
