We took a ferry from Sweden to Sandefjord and started the Norwegian National Cycle Route 2. This route followed lots of gravel roads and the high elevation Suleskarvegen through beautiful alpine scenery. We cycled along incredible mountains and fjords and found some great camping spots while bicycle touring southern Norway.
We rode this section in August of 2022.

So fun!
I think, … after several months of following you I am starting to get your drift. It is subtly , but I find it radical. Love it!
I love the wild camping.
👍
thank you for bringing the beatiful views to us
LINDO VISUAL
Want qna video 😍
Jenny- where is your water bladder? In your frame bag?
Thank you for your beautiful videos of Norway!! We've been there this summer. Love the country
Your photography is superb, and you really give a sense of where you are and what the journey is like. (There are plenty of vloggers who don't get the balance right, and put the camera on themselves too much.) I do wonder though how you can spend so much time in or heading to a place and not pick up the pronunciation (Hebrides, Cagliari, Stavanger, etc) – do you have very limited interaction with local people? Or not hear announcements on ferries and trains? Small point, and I'm sorry to make any sort of criticism – because these are great videos, thank you.
God, dont you get tired of tortellini
Awesome cycling vlog…welcome to Malaysia

Merci pour cette superbe vidéo ! un gros aalut du Québec !
Hi! Amazing video! Do you guys think that this section is better or worse than Bergen-Oslo?
Not often you see someone visit Bømlo, unfortunately you skipped it in the video 🥲
I'm a bit surprised nobody offered to take you two in for the night or let you sleep in the barn. Nonetheless you two certainly have made the category of "bad keisters". Seriously! Who pedals around Norway in shorts in the rain? Absolutely outstanding. Bicycling out of those fjords looked burly. Yes, the scenery was awesome too. Can't thank you enough for sharing. All your videos have been awesome.
Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles. Safe protected bike lanes and trails are needed so adults and children can ride safely. Speak up for bicycles in your community. Bicycles make life and cities better. Ask your local transportation planner and elected officials to support more protected bike lanes and trails. Children should be riding a bicycle to school and not be driven in a minivan.
Bicycles, ebikes, electric cargo bicycles, robo taxis and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel.
Reduced transportation costs and fossil fuels free transportation.
Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for health or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed with solar canopies generating free energy from the sun.
