I traveled up to the Arctic for a weekend break in February. I didn’t want to take my bike and have the hassle of disassembling and reassembling it (not to mention the cost to fly with it). I also didn’t want to bring a big suitcase with all the winter gear the Arctic requires. Therefore, Tromsø Outdoor provided the perfect solutions and made it easy for me to rent a bike and some gear, provide route suggestions, and transportation options.
The result was an epic winter ride in the Lyngen Alps: https://youtu.be/glZbCJK7YJs

They gave us good service:) We rented an ebike for Kristine and I stored my bikecase with them when we where traveling to Sommarøy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A0z2ZqJapg
Thanks for brilliant guidance & sharing. 🌟Inspiring 🚴
How does some one from Australia who is accustomed to heat, lots of it, come to live in one of the coldest countries on the planet?
Awesome, thanks so much for this! I was starting to plan a Lofoten trip for the summer and was having a hard time finding a rental service for a good road or gravel bike. Is that route from Tromsø to Lofoten available online anywhere? Is it do-able in a week or so doing 80 – 100k a day you think?
wow … watched this twice as I could not take it all in. Bl00dy awesome.
Feel like this video was made for me after I asked about cycling in Tromso a couple of weeks ago! I need to reply to the email they sent me!
Hello, I would like to ask, is it possible if I rent one of your bikes for a few days ?. I plan to ride solo all over Tromso.
Totally agree on September. The autumn colours are fantastic!
