    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!

    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.

    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 :-)

    I rode the Rallarvegen route a few years ago.
    Unfortunately, I didn't have the video recording equipment you have. Mostly photos and videos taken with a phone.
    The impressions from the ride - amazing. I relive it watching your report. Thanks for the technically well-edited video. Bravo!
    What camera did you use to film this?

    Hi, I've been watching this video with great interest, as I, myself am planing to do the national cyckling route 4 from Bergen to Oslo in Norway next year. You mentioned not all tunnnels alow cyclists to pass through. My question is how many tunnels on route 4 / 5 from Bergen to Oslo are there that not allowing the cyclist? Also do you mind to share gpx file(s) from your tour for the section from Bergen to Oslo? Thank you for sharing your experiences.

  • @Mr.Engineer.
    @Mr.Engineer. 5 месяцев назад

    Instead of Upsete to Myrdal train station you should have cycled to Gudvangen, taken the ferry to Flåm and then cycled the Rallarvei from there.
    Much more scenic :D

    Terrific video!!! Spectacular. I was wondering how you guys dealt with the 90/ 180 day Schengen thing for your 14 months in Europe.???

    • @RollingExistence
      @RollingExistence  Год назад

      In a nutshell, we stayed in the Schengen Zone for 90 days at a time and then spent 90 days outside of it (the Balkans, Ireland and the UK). We have a more detailed blog post about planning around the Schengen Zone here:

    Hi great video. How do you keep your electric equipment charged. And we’re the bike boxes easy to obtain.

    • @RollingExistence
      @RollingExistence  Год назад +1

      We both carry several power banks, and we have dynamo hubs which help a bit. Sometimes grocery stores have outlets available, so we'll charge our stuff while we shop. We also used ferry/train station waiting rooms. We lucked out and found good bike boxes at the first shop we tried. Sometimes we have to go to a couple but it's never been a huge problem.

  • @namdarbolour9890

    Where did you get your bike boxes? Are they special for bikes? Were they hard to find?

    • @RollingExistence
      @RollingExistence  Год назад +1

      We got them from a bike shop, they're just the cardboard boxes that the bikes are shipped in. Luckily in Norway the first shop we went to had a couple lying around. Sometimes we have to visit a few different shops before we find boxes that are a good size for our bikes.

    Really love following you. Iolan to do a similar rour next July August. Do you have a GPX track any tips and how were the midges ??? How did you manage to stay so long in Europe under Schengen rules ???

    • @RollingExistence
      @RollingExistence  Год назад

      We have a blog post with more details and GPX track here: www.rollingexistence.com/routes/bicycle-touring-southern-norway/
      We didn't have any issues with midges in late August/early September. The ticks were out in force though. We had to structure our trip around the Schengen Zone 90 day limit, so we stayed in the zone for 90 days then left the zone for 90 days in the Balkans, stayed in the zone 90 days then reset in Ireland and the UK, then rode up to Norway.

  • @franknobody5965

    Do you plan the hotels ahead, or get them on the fly?

    • @RollingExistence
      @RollingExistence  Год назад +1

      We usually get them on the fly so that we can stay pretty flexible. It's tough to plan very far in advance since you never know exactly how far you'll make it each day.

      See also GPS Visualizer site too, if you’re interested in maps. It allows you see all the OSM, topo and satellite maps-all in one site. You just pull down a menu to switch maps. My favourite.

    The bike is solid and my Ebike conversion went great. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Very smooth ride at 30mph with no problems (135 miles ridden so far). The picture is a bit deceiving - there is WAY less space in the center of the frame than it shows. The suspension connection takes up the entire thing. So I needed to attach my battery on the bottom of the frame and my controller on the top. Instructions for assembly were lacking but honestly it wasn't too hard to figure out even though I have very little bike knowledge. Watched some youtube videos on adjusting the disk brakes but that was it. Still, I am loving it and very happy with the purchase.

  • @mattnaylor145
    @mattnaylor145 Год назад

    No issues with assembly for me ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".
