Cycling Across Norway // Bergen to Oslo // World Bicycle Touring Episode 31

We left Bergen and took Norway's National Cycle Route 4, including the famous Rallarvegen bike route, toward Oslo. This section of riding was sparsely populated and the scenery was some of the most stunning of our whole tour through Europe. After completing the Rallarvegen, we switched over to the National Cycle Route 5 (Numedal Route) to reach Oslo and the end of our 14 month, 11,877 mile journey around Europe.

Time frame: Late August to mid-September 2022

Massive kudos for taking the proper way of Rallarvegen.

I chuckled at your pronunciation of that little store - Snark Job. It's actually Snar (quick) Kjop (shop). The K and J blend together into a sound we don't use in English. I used to live in Stavanger and took the train from there to Oslo many many years ago. Great memories! Enjoy the rest of your journey!

[ashleyhoward]

There is no praise high enough for this, one day you will be my age, looking back on these days with such great pride, well done both of you.

What a terrific video to support cycle touring in Norway. My favourite destination.

[jeffersonspencer]

I truly love your bike touring videos. They are some wonderful experiences. They are encouraging me to do some bike touring in my own country, Belize. We do not have a bike path here but I need to make the best out of what we have. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Have you tried taking a small skateboard along. It will work great for transporting your bike when the bike is in the box and you need to carry it in the airport for long distances.

Bonjour a vous deux, j'ai passé un moment très agréable, vidéo de bonne facture, et vous êtes intéressants, merci pour le partage .

So glad to see you two, Jenny and Andrew! I once had a bike, or shall I say the bike once had me, Norwegian wood(s).
Soooo excited for the Southeast Tour !
Thank you for the videos !

[briantyhy]

[ArjenHaayman]

I've biked (parts of) the Rallarwegen twice now. Such stunning scenery. I like to watch every single video on it. Thanks

[welshbikepackingadventures]

Amazing guys, really appreciate all the trouble you go to filming your epic adventure. Best wishes from Wales 🇬🇧

[MrJx]

Wow, I played this video on my large monitor and it's pretty spectacular scenery. Glad you had some sunshine to showcase this trip.

[SpeedDamai]

nice bike tour there my friend, very nice video. what a beautiful place to ride

[weirdshibainu]

Probably a pretty safe country to bike across

[travisjang]

I always watch your videos. The scenery is so beautiful. I want to go to Norway too. In Korea

[clickbaitnumberone]

Norway to Malaysia!? What the heck...Anyway, one day you have to do a special about your helmet/hat construction. I always try to think how it works

[blintzkreig]

I would not want to leave. Nice video.

[asbjrnkristiansen]

Just found this. Great stuff. Just wanted to mention that as ong as you find running water i n Norway, there really is no need to filter it. Naturally running water in Norway is even better than our tap water, which is already the best anywhere in the world. Thought it'd be nice to know if you ever decide to come back for some more bikepacking, or for anyone out there making plans to come here :-)
