SYKKELAMBULANSEN (the bike ambulance)!


A few days ago, cycling back home from Oslo lateish, tired and hungry, disaster struck. Just as we got out of the city center by back tire popped and went completely flat.

Just as the reality of the long trip dragging the bike home sunk in, a girl rode past and said there was a bike ambulance (sykkelambulanse) down the road who might be able to help us. “What kind kind of bizarre joke was that”, said we, “to think that there is such a thing as a bike ambulanse!” After trudging down the road for a short while, lo and behold this is what we saw:

Our knight in shining armor sat waiting for us clad in red and white, just his like ambulance. In no time at all this incredibly friendly man had turned the bike upside down, whipped the back wheel off and put a new inner-tube in. In 5 minutes flat we were ready to go again, happy as could be. Our day was saved all thanks to Sykkelambulansen!

So if you are in the Oslo area and your trusty steed of steel breaks down, fear not just call 99 70 70 35 and the bike ambulance will come to you in your time of need. 

You can also find him at www.sykkelambulansen.no . 

Highly recommended.
