Cycling in Norway

0 comments at 3:23 pm posted by zoro

On a recent visit to Norway I was elated to see how bikeable and walkable the two cities I visited (Bergen and Oslo) are. I only visited the city core in both cities, so I can’t speak for the suburbs, but overall both cities are very easy to get around on foot and the cycling traffic was steady at all times of the day. If I’d been there for a bit longer I would have gladly tracked down a bike to take advantage of the great cycling conditions! image
