Store togforstyrrelser i Norge denne sommeren: Hva syklister trenger å vite
For syklister som skal reise over Norge denne sommeren, er det én ting du må være ekstra oppmerksom på før du planlegger turen: Store deler av det norske jernbanenettet vil igjen bli påvirket av anleggsarbeid, linjestengninger og “buss for tog” (erstatningsbusser). For vanlige passasjerer er dette upraktisk. For syklister kan det [...]
Oslo → Göteborg → Malmö → København → Hamburg → Berlin med TOG!
For første gang på over 20 år vender en direkte togforbindelse mellom Oslo og Danmark tilbake fra sommeren 2028. Men det stopper ikke der. Toget fortsetter helt til Berlin, og knytter Norge til fastlands-Europa med tog igjen. For sykkelturisme kan dette bli langt viktigere enn mange aner. […]
Norges mest berømte sykkelritt – avlyst!
I nesten seks tiår har Styrkeprøven vært en del av norsk sykkelkultur. Det var aldri bare et ritt. For mange ryttere var det et årlig mål, en grunn til å trene gjennom vinteren, en sosial samling, og for noen, en livshendelse. Hundrevis av frivillige, lokalsamfunn, idrettslag og vanlige syklister bidro til at det holdt seg levende […]
Oslo kåret til 18. mest sykkelvennlige by i verden
Ten years ago, calling Oslo a cycling city would have raised eyebrows. The capital was a place where bikes were tolerated rather than welcomed, squeezed into narrow roads between fast-moving traffic, trams, and buses and plenty of construction zones. The numbers were small, the danger was real, and anyone who rode daily did it more […]
Oslo Cycling Week: Rolling Into the Season’s Grand Finale

Organised by a small volunteer team: Hans Flensted-Jensen, Åse Lindersen, Petter Bodman, and Fredrik Norman of Oslo Dawn Patrol, the festival grew out of nothing more than local […]
Statens Vegvesen trekker støtten til Sykkel-Norge – men vi fortsetter.
When people think of Cycle Norway, they often picture the open road, quiet forests, and the thrill of discovering a country by bike. What they don’t always see is what goes on behind the scenes to make it all possible. Until recently, Cycle Norway received a small but helpful amount of support from the Norwegian […]
Trollstigen bomstasjon: Hva det betyr for syklister
Norway’s famous Trollstigen mountain road, known for its dramatic hairpin bends, is set to reopen—at least partially—this summer between 14th July and 15th August. But the road made headlines again this week as Møre og Romsdal County Council voted in favour of introducing a toll to help fund long-term safety work. The decision passed with […]
Stavanger’s New Cycling Tunnel Opens!
Beneath Norway’s rugged surface, something remarkable is taking shape—not in the form of oil or minerals, but through tunnels built for bicycles. Stavanger and Bergen, two of Norway’s most vibrant coastal cities, are leading the way in cycling innovation by building world-class infrastructure that puts cyclists front and center. With Stavanger’s brand-new 380-meter cycling tunnel […]
