malumbu Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Reading an old copy of London Cyclist I found an article on the best hill climbs for cyclists. Canobie Road and College Road were included. I can't find an electric version so have attached another article which gives Canobie/Westwood as number 1! https://www.broleur.com/top-ten-toughest-cycling-climbs-london-bergs/ Neither mention Sydenham Hill from the South Circ as that is dreadful due to the road surface and being so narrow. Keeps you fit cycling round here. May put old copies of London Cyclist up on this forum as you may find them interesting Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/357504-londons-best-hill-climbs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt_Lane Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I used to climb Canobie Road daily on a fixie when I lived in Forest Hill and rarely enjoyed it! Haven’t been back to Canobie Road since.

Haven’t been back to Canobie Road since. Nah, impossible! Not with one speed and surely not without a freewheel Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/357504-londons-best-hill-climbs/#findComment-1697474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eats Dulwich Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 If College Road is from the tollgate to Crystal Palace I did that once - nearly killed myself with a heart attack going up and nearly killed myself freewheeling too fast going back down. Never again! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/357504-londons-best-hill-climbs/#findComment-1697486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzer Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Westwood Park and Sydenham Hill, also hellish to walk up. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/357504-londons-best-hill-climbs/#findComment-1697505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
