I was trying to imagine how steep a 25% hill is.
The last big hill i remember climbing with a cargo bike (bosch CX gen2) was Anerley Hill, with about 130Kg of cargo (two small adults). Still can't really picture exactly how much steeper 25% is, but I think it's about double?? crazy. would struggle with an empty bike even hah.

Canonbie is only 15% !

Yes most people couldn't cycle up it. Even a fit person is out the saddle pushing on pedals. And I'm riding up on a MTB with MTB gears. I guess it's like catford or bec hull climb routes. But it's only 20m of that, but comes after 90deg corner so you can't get any steam into it.

You need a holiday in the lake district

pascalo
40-45
But I was doing 6kph.
I couldn't have gone slower without falling off. Nor much faster without risking the cargo.
