Norway Has SOLVED Hills!

Our Bike Tours don’t have hills but if we did this would be so fun!

The Norwegian city of Trondheim has come up with a way of ending the dreaded hill climb – thanks to a bike escalator.

The CycloCable, known as the Trampe Bicycle Lift, which has already carried over 200,000 cyclists, is built along a steep 150m long incline and works by using a powered angled platform where cyclists can rest their foot.

Keeping the rest of their body attached to the bike, the cyclist and the bike are then propelled forward at a speed of approximately 5 mph until the hill is complete.

It carries up to five people simultaneously and can also be used by any small wheeled transport, whether a kid with a scooter or a mother with a pram.

What goes up must come down, so those lucky Norwegian pedal people can enjoy the thrill of the downward slope without worrying about how to get there.

It was invented in the 90s by an inventive commuter and has also become a tourist attraction.

They say more are in the works!
