Safe place to leave bike in oslo
Hi there,
I’ll be coming to Oslo in the second weekend of August – it’s the second-to-last stop on a longer summer holiday trip. We’re two people traveling with bikes.
After arriving in Oslo, we plan to go hiking in the mountains for a week, then return to Oslo again for another night’s stay before heading home. Unfortunately, our hotel won’t store the bikes while we’re hiking, so I’m looking for a good solution.
I looked into Flexistore and Wanda, but both seem a bit inconvenient: Wanda doesn’t operate on Saturdays – which is the day we arrive – and overall they seem a bit inflexible. I also feel that a central contact in Oslo would be easier than using one of those commercial options.
So, I’m wondering if anyone here might be able to help – maybe you have a cellar or secure space where we could leave two bikes for a week, or you know someone who does? I’d really appreciate any tip or offer. The bike parking at the station doesn’t seem reliable enough for a full week.
Thanks in advance,
Tobi

Options I can think of:
1) Join Warmshowers and contact people in Oslo and see if any have space for two bikes
2) Stick two bikes in the Bikely Box in Oslo. Not sure of the cost for a long period of time: https://www.bikely.no/product/pod
3 Use the bike hotel at the central station: https://www.oslo.kommune.no/gate-transport-og-parkering/sykkel/sykkelhotell/
4) Contact bike shops in Oslo and see if any will hold your bikes for a small fee (doubtful but worth an email).
