What it's really like living on the UK's steepest street

Vale Street has been named the steepest road in the UK and locals are forced to tie their cars to lampposts when the road gets icy. Some people just stay at home and have a day off, resident Mat Goren told BristolLive. Every Easter residents take part in an egg-race where the person whose yolk travels the furthest without breaking is crowned the winner. Situated in the Totterdown district of Bristol, the 22-degree slope has attracted cycling enthusiasts who say it is ‘just about rideable’ on Twitter. It has been featured on the dangerousroads website which shows spectacular streets around the world and Road Cycling UK claims it is 'as much of a mental hurdle as a physical one'.
