Description
From mountain bikes to unicycles, 150 cyclists of all ages take part in the "infernal climb" in Clermont-Ferrand (middle France). It is the "shortest hill climb in the world," according to its organizers, with a 200-meter course and a finish with a gradient of more than 20 percent. "In the beginning, it was just a group of friends," explains Pierre-Henri Malartre, a member of the neighborhood association behind this unusual gathering, now in its second year.
