Spring is here, apparently. The weather is actually no proof of that, what with light snow, heavy rain and blustering cold winds doing the rounds.
But the Oslo Bysykkel (Oslo Bicycles) have started locking and stocking their bicycles for this season, which starts in Spring and ends beginning of Winter. Once you become a member, you can borrow a cycle from any station for about 3 hours, return it to any other station after 3 hours and then pick up another cycle for another 3 hours; and you can keep doing this until midnight. A truck usually does rounds to replenish cycles at the stations; also these stations are almost everywhere.
Last season, an ambitious lad (my husband), bought the cycle card, confident that he would cycle around the whole season; actual number of cycle trips...3. Maybe this season he'll beat that record.
