A cool breeze off the Oslofjord lifts the hair at the back of your neck as the group pedals away from the meeting point. Streetlamps glint on wet cobbles in spring, summer sunlight bounces off the Opera House’s marble planes, and in winter studded tires whisper on packed snow. This is a city designed to be read on two wheels: parks, fjordfronts, and neighborhoods reveal themselves at a relaxed tempo on an assisted bike.
