Hi Ken,

You can read about the options here: https://cyclenorway.com/bike-box-travel/

Posten is an option but you will need to check with your hotel in Bodø regarding their policy.

Perhaps a better option is Hurtigruten. They offer a freight service where your bike box, luggage, or even bike can be transported up or down the coast. They have over 30 locations that you can drop or pick up from. I’ve been told their prices are reasonable for the service provided. Unfortunately, the site is only in Norwegian but it’s worth contacting them if you plan to fly out of a different city along the west coast.

Thanks for sharing your experience. That sounds like a good option. But how long do you get to pick up the boxes before they are skipped back to Tromsø? That would be my only concern if traveling for weeks on a bike.
