Oslo City Bike gives you access to 3 000 bikes, both manual and electric. It's an easy and environmentally friendly way to get around the city, and this is how it works:
After you have registered in the app, you purchase the product that suits you best, whether you just want to test the service or know you will be cycling a lot. In the app you can see where there are available bikes and parking, unlock bikes, check for parking and you have an overview of all the trips you have taken.
Right now we have ... stations that you can bike from and to here in Oslo. In the app, you can always see the number of available manual and electrical bikes in the station closest to you, and if there are available locks where you are going.
Or extend the ride with an additional 2 hours, for 15 NOK per 15 minutes.
Check the app for confirmation before you leave.
The city bikes are available 365-days a year. During the winterseason, there are fewer bikes than normal. Winterbikes are primarily intended to cover the city center area, so there will be fewer bikes further from the city center. Be aware that it can be slippery in winter, especially black asphalt can have icy parts you do not see, so adjust speed and be careful when taking turns etc.
