Poor bicycles...

....left to themselves in the snowfall....

This was last sunday. Today it is quite different...the snow is mostly gone (there is only some icy stuff left), and it's raining again! :o(

Bicycles for rent

Oslo has a good offer to those who would like to get around in Oslo by bicycle: Oslo Citybike. There are approx. 1200 bikes to be found in different places of the center. To use them you have to register and pay a small annual fee. Then you use your "smart card" to release a bike from the rack.

The bikes are financed by advertising and is therefore an environmental-friendly and inexpencive offer to the public. You must return the bike to the stand within 3 hours thus to make sure that there are bikes available to everyone who's interested.
