Bike Path Website: maps and routes

http://www.bikemap.net/route/1081007


Use the above website to find bikes paths and maps around the Bergen and surrounding islands areas. A few suggestions:

1) Hjellestad-Sotra-Mathopen-Bønes-Nattlandsfjellet-Kalandsvannet. Goes through lovely natural views, including Nattlandsfjellet overlooking the city of Bergen and surrounding islands.  The tourist ON-OFF bus stopped going along Nattlandsfjellet, as the residents complained it was too much for the tiny narrow roads, and blocked cars as the bus was so large. You can take a city bus instead. The bike route is good, if you like that thing. I usually only ride my bike in the mountains off road, where there is n´t traffic.

2) Route Sykle-omvei-til-jobben-tur. This one´s long! Nearly 52 miles! The translation is bicycle route to work.

3) Find your own. Put in a place to and from, and this site gives you paths people already use and put in their route for you to try. Or make one up, then add it to the site!:)

There are several places to rent different types of bicycles.

Sandviken is one. (find name, or website)
