Dalsnibba from Geiranger (Norway) - Indoor Cycling Training

[@wandamorales5297]

I love the Norway videos! They are my favorite. Recommended your videos to my fellow teachers!

[@DREAM284]

I don't worry about "lockdown". I exercised in France, and Switzerland, on Tuesday and Wednesday, then a quick move to Norway (never been before), and off to France in a mo'. All thanks to Bike the World, accompanied by Jazz music in my ears (from Portugal). I've probably said this before, but never in my 82 years could I have imagined such pleasure was possible in the comfort of my own home, and for virtually no expense.. Thanks and well done to everyone concerned in creating such experiences, and I have loads more to look forward to.x

Yes, I love being able to ride through the world's great scenery without leaving home. There are several other sites I use and get to ride in Japan, NZ, Utah, Colorado, Australia, France, Spain, Italy, among others. Though I prefer the sites where they do actually film from a bicycle saddle and not a motorcycle.

[@DREAM284]

@@markkeohane9850 I do understand your preference, but with this manner of filming, I can concentrate on the scenery and my music without the distractions of other cyclist's rear ends, or cars and motorbikes continually passing by. The stability of the filming is another plus, and of course, we are all different.

The first two-thirds of the road were built in the 1880s (designed for horses), a model of the road was displayed on the World Expo in Paris (won the gold medal or something). Then in the 1930s the last section to Dalsnibba summit (my grandfather built this after Trollstigen was done). Dalsnibba road is private.

Not been to Norway for many years thanks for taking me back.

[@BiketheWorld]

No worries Peter, hope you enjoyed it :-)

Thank you for these beautiful landscapes, and the video. 😉👍🚴

[@eckpolmick5080]

At 17:30 is a loop of the original road, abandoned in 1970 but still functional.

Djupvasshytta (hotel/lodge) and Djupvatnet lake at 45:00 this point is at the water divided between east and west. Water flows east towards Lillehammer from this point.

Guapísima Noruega. Este es uno de tus vídeos más maravillosos. Gracias.👍🏽👍🏽

[@eckpolmick5080]

There is a half-marathon (21 km) competition from fjord to summit, all up hill. Often won by skiers because it is harder than usual long distance races.

[@julianappleyard7230]

I was lucky enough to ride this exact route a couple of years ago. One of my very top cycling (and non cycling) memories - incredible view from the top and a great fun (and long) descent back down... Quite a difference in the temperature between the start at fjord level and the summit

[@BiketheWorld]

Glad to hear you had a chance to do it for real :-) Weather is making this a difficult climb to do. We had to wait for days before it was possible to film this amazing ride. On that day there was a guy cycling up and down until he had gained 8848 meters of altitude. A very unique place :-)

Another great session after I had to abandon a road session due to a mechanical issue. The strangest thing was I didn’t really take note of the location just the duration before starting, then I suddenly thought “I know this place”. Didn’t take long to realise I’d holidayed there and actually stayed in the hotel early in the video. Great memories, thanks. Starting to get accustomed to the slow motion walkers and cars because of the filming from a motorbike I guess. Unfortunately I cannot use the full computer programme due to old laptop. Thanks

[@BiketheWorld]

Thank you Andrew. Glad to hear you have actually been there. Amazing place :-)

[@martinhoeller5793]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[@frankdigiovanni3666]

Totally AWESOME

[@tonybaker55]

Great scenery, but what a place to live. No wonder the Vikings wandered!

[@Sorka5000]

When is this filmed? :)

[@BiketheWorld]

July...

I just wish they'd film these on a bicycle in real time and not shoot them all on a motorbike and slow them down. Even at the half-speed they use (I guess) it's still too fast and I have to slow it down again to 0.75x or even .5x then all the cars going the other way are crawling past and people walking on the side of the road are in total slo-mo and it spoils the experience. I suppose it's just cheaper and less hassle to send out a bloke on a Honda for an hour than it is to pay someone to ride up on a bike for two hours or more. 'The natural sound of the surroundings is simply drowned by noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider's breathing.' 'The rider's breathing' - yep, that made me laugh a bit. Is there an fx mic inside his crash helmet then? Choose your own music so you can't hear the motorcycle's engine, you mean; ha! :0) However, I do enjoy the scenery and the opportunity to visit places I've never been and probably won't ever get to visit. Yeah, I know, download the app for more control over speed, better experience, etc; but I run these through a laptop and projector onto a big white screen, giving me a 2.8m image, and can't connect my phone this way. I have nothing fancy by way of trainers to hook an app up to - just a dumb old fluid resistance trainer and an old mountain bike fitted with a road tyre. It does for me and there are plenty of other sites offering rides that are filmed from a real bike saddle.

[@BiketheWorld]

Wow, never had a comment like this. We do our best we can to capture the beauty of the scenery. Therefore we use cinematic equipment, so we can capture the stunning scenery in a professional way. This kind of equipment is very very heavy. We always film from the rider's perspective, which very few do. We have lots of rides filmed from a road bike with lighter equipment in our library. They too are filmed from the rider's perspective, not from a handle bar. Concerning sound then you should try to ride up Col de la Loze with a pulse of 90. It is not possible for us, so yeah breathing on that kind of video simply drowns all the natural sound and is left out. Anyway, if handlebar cycling videos are your thing, then you are in luck. Lot's of those around. Happy cycling :-)

@@BiketheWorld Each to their own, I guess. I'm well happy with the likes of Open Road and BigringVR. Much prefer these over other virtual riding apps. Look forward to seeing more routes being added to Open Road in the future. Cheers! 👍
