Big Wheel down the 3rd Steepest Street in America

BIG WHEEL down the 3rd Steepest Street in America




What is the steepest street in California? Eldred St. its the Steepest street in California. It's more steep then Lombard street... and I've gone Lombard street. Its wild and dangerous... very dangerous. But it's a different dangerous then Eldred street.


What's crazy about Eldred street is that its fucking dangerous. The street has many holes, cracks and its 33% down grade. There is also a street that runs into it mid way down that you can't see the cars entering till the last second. It's pretty much a kamikaze mission and hope you survive it.

Even looking up at it from the bottom it looks scary.



When I got up there, a couple of people came out to watch me. I don't know if its for watching me accomplish it or to see me crash.

My big wheel doesn't have any breaks and one of the peddles is gone. I have flinstone breaks, my feet! But as I started going down I quickly realized that I was going too fast and I wasn't slowing or breaking. At that point I just let go and enjoyed the ride.
