A lift up the hill - cycle lift |
Sykkelheis of Norway |
A bike lift? Yup, a helping hand for getting up hills when you're on your bike. This bike lift opened in 1993 as part of a scheme to get more people on to their bikes in Trondheim in Norway. Sykkelheis of Norway is the Municipal Bicycle Lift!

Bike LiftWhat an excellent idea! I know I'm unlikely to cycle into Oldham Town Centre as it's up what is basically a 4 mile hill! So for steep hills this makes life easier! Although definitely dearer - apparently the cost for 15 minutes of continuous operation is 100NOK ($13)!
Here are some more pictures of the bicycle lift showing lots of people using it - not all cyclists!

Would you use one of these lifts?
