Low Tech and Fascinating

So there is a city in Norway, very far north, and very hilly Thrid biggest city in Norwya. And yet, it has the highest rate of bicycle useage in the country (and so, quite possibly the world). How does a hilly town promote bicycle useage.

Ingeniously. Voila, the "trampe" lift on the biggest hill from the waterfront to the top of old town.

It's a very clever footpad that you "step" on and it propels you up the hill.

ps- The "porn-stashe" is so not going to make a come back in the states.
