Crossing the street and looking the other way. This is the biggest "hill" on my commute. It rises maybe 120 feet in a quarter of a mile. The opening in the trees about half way up is the Princeton Battlefield Park, where George Washington and the Continental Army defeated the British on January 3, 1777, after crossing the Delaware on Christmas Eve just before and engaging the Hessians in Trenton.

You'll notice on the left a sidewalk. Princeton Township calls this a bike path. But I stay on the road since I consider the path to be way more dangerous. Driveways cross it and people charge out of their driveways without looking. Also, sometimes you'll see a young mother walking twins in a double wide (taking up the whole path) baby stroller. And there are a number of other reasons why you wouldn't want to ride it.
