Reply to travel from North cape to Oslo
Honongsvåg – Tromsø (24 hours boat). Tromsø – Bodø by Bus (change in Narvik). Bodø – Oslo by Train (18 hours). You’re probably talking over 350 euros minimum. About 3 days of travel. Fly from Alta or Tromsø is alot easier. Pick up card board box at intersport or XXL.

Contact local bike shops
There are a few shops in Kirkenes that sell or repair bikes, and they likely have spare boxes or can help:
Sport 1 Kirkenes in Handelsparken has a good selection of bikes and a workshop. They’re your best bet to get cardboard bike boxes or advice on where to find them.
Sportshjørnet AS and Sport Outlet Kirkenes also deal…

Hi Jonathan, Happy to read your article and publish on CN – The best way is to send me a draft (Word format is fine), with photos either included or clearly marked – for example: “Insert image 2356.jpg after this sentence.” Please also upload the images to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar so I can download and resize them for the website.

Hi all,
I want to address some of the feedback I’ve received recently about the usability of the site, particularly regarding the maps and route layout.
First, I genuinely welcome constructive feedback. If there’s something specific you feel is missing or confusing about the current route/map setup, let me know. I’m always working to improve…

Not 100% what you mean. It’s all done manually, and the Oslo-Stavanger routes are both complete with POI’s: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51035345?privacy_code=GxrdMdhKg6atOK52Xz1PSYPKVZPQvduN

Komoot is more user-friendly but does leave you ‘Komooted’ a times, taking you on non-cycling routes or trying to push you onto a terrible farm road for 500m when the main road is just fine. There’s also no quality control, so anyone can upload sections that may not be advisable. RidewithGPS, while less intuitive, offers more accurate route…
