    This hilly city is a nightmare for bikes going up a hill.

    On the right knee and the calves yeah.

    I get good exercise with over 300 kg leg presses and treadmill though.

    I love cycling. Once done Islington to the Pier Head in 5 minutes. Don't recall the time on the return trip. All I remember is the ambulance lads administering me oxygen when I passed out and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay giving me the ****ing kiss of life. Tenzing had luvly lips, btw.

    Earl Road is more evil than Islington to ride or like the ****e end of Smithdown Road.

    You reckon the drop down from Islington to the Pier Head is less steeper than from Earl Rd? No way pal! LOL! I love these cockfights whether I lose or not. Scousers Rule!

    Yeah, it's steeper than Islington, I only ride through Islington though to get to the gym on Salisbury Road though.

    One road by Everton Park Sports centre was the steepest Road I rode down and I forgot to fix my brakes and I was using my feet to stop the bike! Could of crashed into a car on the road!

    I crashed into the steps by the Anglican Cathedral at night just outside it on that steep hill once too but luckily, my feet managed to slow it down enough to hit one of my bones so it was nothing.

    Hurt my feet doing that and absorbing the impact.

    Fixed my brakes now though, pain in the arse bike.

    Default Seven Hills again.

    Getting back to the actual hills again, nobody seems to have come up with a definitive or "official" list, just people kindly offering their own thoughts.
    Starting with NineSisters list, I don't think we can just go by streets which have something hilly in their name.

    1 - Woolton Ridge Camp Hill is in Woolton
    2 - Olive Mount but is this the same Hill as Edge Hill and Old Swan.
    which then continues to the top of Upper Parly.
    3 - Mossley Hill - agreed, the church being on a definite summit,.
    4 - High Park in the Dingle, plenty of slopoimng streets down there, but there is the point they all slope up to?
    5 - Everton Brow which leads to Everton Valley, and then along Everton Ridge
    6 - Mount Vernon which seems to be the peak of Mount pleasant which goes up again via Oxford Street.,

    Breeze Hill leads up to where? Sleepers Hill, similar.

    On a related point, Ken Pye in his excellent book definitely refers to the Seven Hills on which Liverpool is built. I would love to contact him and ask him about his sources, and indeed his list. Anyone got any contacts?

    Surely, it's the Seven Hills of Rome, not Liverpool.
    Liverpool has two ridges which are probably more noticeable than its hills.
    The answer will be in a contour map of the area.
