Sykkelheis Bicycle Lift in Norway

bikeliftFrom a description of the top attractions to visit in Trondheim, Norway: “Designed to assist bike riders in their ascent of the steep hill, this mechanized conveyor belt (most of which is concealed underground beneath a metal-edged groove in the pavement) hauls bicycles, with their riders, up a steeply inclined stretch of a scenic bike path. The cost for 15 minutes of continuous operation is 100NOK ($15), which you can pay by inserting coins into the machine’s coin slot. Frankly, most individual riders either walk their bikes or cycle in low gear up the relatively short hill, but as a conversation piece, the Sykkelheis is worth a look.” Click the more link to see more pictures.
