Unexpectedly steep climb this way from the city centre. A good tarmac road with wide cycle lanes and indeed speed bumps, but the latter are pretty "smooth". Nice view to the back. The road can be busy though, both with cars's and cyclists.
Onverwacht steil klimmetje zo vanuit het centrum. Een goed asfaltweg met brede fietsstroken en inderdaad drempels, maar deze laatste zijn behoorlijk "smooth". Leuk uitzicht naar achteren. De weg kan wel druk zijn, zowel met auto's als met fietsers.
Nice to see this climb here. I literally live on this street so know it like the back of my hand. The first 100 metres, before you cross the Binnenveld junction, are false flat, about 3％. After you cross the junction, it immediately gets steeper. The road definitely heads towards 8 ％ gradient. Indeed, the last stretch flattens out again. Downhill, you have to brake hard, otherwise you'll be going way too fast at the junction (this is not a priority road).
Leuk om deze klim hier te zien. Ik woon letterlijk aan deze straat dus ken hem als mijn broekzak. De eerste 100 meter, voordat je de kruising van Binnenveld oversteekt, zijn vals plat, zo'n 3％. Nadat je de kruising oversteekt, wordt het meteen steiler. De weg gaat zeker richting 8 ％ stijgingspercentage. Het laatste stuk vlakt inderdaad weer af. Bergaf moet je flink bijremmen, anders ga je veel te hard op de kruising af (dit is geen voorrangsweg).
