In #Bergen today, glorious weather, and we're now staying overnight in the city on this #cruise. Walked to the aquarium and now we're in Apollon Platebar, which is both a #vinyl record store and craft ale bar with 40+ taps. We might be a while. Started on an amber ale and a cider; both very good. We do plan to peruse the albums too.
Norwegians _loves_ it when foreigners says something nice about us! So of course a great video saying that we're doing something right gets an article in one of the two biggest local newspapers in the relevant city! :D
And if you haven't seen the video from @notjustbikes yet, well prepare yourself to get your mind blown by a tunnel in sunny, warm, basically tropical city of Bergen, Norway
Viimeisin Not Just Bikes -video on jälleen kerran osoitus siitä, että kun rakennat ympäristöä ihmisille, saat ihmisiä.
Bergen on varsin tyypillinen eurooppalainen kaupunki, joka monella tapaa tuhottiin 60-luvun autohuumassa. Kaupunki on kuitenkin ottanut hienoja askeleita oikeaan suuntaan ja korjannut vuosikymmenten takaisia virheitä.
Upea pyöräily- ja jalankulkutunneli on vain yksi osa kaupungin kehittymistä (ja videota). En ole koskaan käynyt Bergenissä, mutta ihan jo pelkästään tämän videon perusteella päätin, että joskus siellä on käytävä. Vaikka 60-luvun autoilusekopäisyyden arvet näkyvät yhä, Bergen vaikuttaa varsin viihtyisältä paikalta, joka on kehittymässä hienoon suuntaan!
@futurebird I present ByBanen in #Bergen, #Norway.
The "locals" hate it, and by locals I mean out-of-towners who don't care about the living standards of city folk. One of the most successful tram systems in the world, despite them generally being badly planned and as a result unsuccessful.
I'm happy you got that congestion pricing though. Fight for that. It is good. We got that here as well and that nasty beige, yellowy "gas lid" that used to hover over our city is gone - thankfully.
Für alle, die in #Bergen 
Mein Plan ist, dafür am Mittwoch, dem 19. Februar nach Deutschland zu reisen. Meldet euch gerne per DM, wenn ihr euren Wahlbrief einem dahergelaufenen Typen aus dem Internet anvertrauen wollt, falls er per Post aus Norwegen nicht rechtzeitig ankommen würde.
@tanketom@tutoteket.noSpesielt at lokale forhold finst!
Det er over 100 år sidan at prof. Godske dokumenterte – vha. syklande forskarar med målestasjon på bagasjebrettet! – at det er kaldare i området rundt Tveitevannet enn bergensdalen ellers.
Det betyr at kunnskapen om at det blir frost i ein kilometers krins der medan #Bergen er 2-3 grader er eldre enn nokre av folka i veg-etatane.
@tanketom@tutoteket.no#Bergen og #Vestland har nok ein gong gløymd at det er noko som heiter kaldt vêr, og at Yr melder det gratis. Så i dag er det for glatt til å vere menneske, fordi ingen har salta eller strøydd. #Sykkelføremelding

#Tourism is evil. Please don't conflate traveling with tourism, as tourism is an industry run by a bunch of bastards - no matter the language they speak.
I could see a protest like this in #Bergen #Norway, as #AirBnB is taking over every property in the classic streets of Bergen. This also inflates the rent prices to a painful level that local people have to compete with.
