Fungerer terrengsykkel dekk bedre på kalde temperaturer?

Helt umulig å få time hos sykkelverkstedet for å bytte piggdekk, så jeg lurer bare på om jeg kan bruke min allround el-sykkel på det kalde været i Bergen?

Sammenliknende politikk Bergen

Hei! Har noen studert sammenliknende politikk i Bergen og vil anbefale studiet? Hvordan er studiemiljøet, og hvordan er jobbmulighetene etterpå? Kunne tenkt meg å jobbe som journalist, er det gode muligheter for det med en slik grad? Burde man ta master? Tar også i mot erfaringer/tips om Bergen som studentby generelt:)

How do Skyss buses know how full they are?

I've been wondering how Skyss provides the occupancy levels for buses in their app—the symbols that show if the bus is empty, half-full, or full.

Does anyone know how they collect this data? Is it through cameras, sensors, or some other technology?

If anyone has insight into the system they use or knows of any documentation about it, I’d be really interested to learn more. Thanks!

Looking for someone to translate a meeting

Hello Going to Bergen for a 2 day meeting and we need for someone that can translate from Norwegian to English during the meeting. The person doesn’t need to be a professional translator, but someone with a high level of English, with a professional attitude and looking to make some extra money. An university student can be a good candidate, for example. This is a meeting in Bergen in week 48. Feel free to send a message if you are interested and I can share more details

Best hikes around Bergen accessible by public transport?

Hi everyone,

I’m heading to Bergen in a few days and I’d love to explore some of the best hikes in the area. I won’t have a car, so I’m specifically looking for hikes that are easily accessible by public transport.

Do you have any recommendations for must-visit trails or scenic spots? I’m up for anything from shorter walks to more challenging hikes, as long as the views are worth it!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Places in Bergen that show English Premier League football

My boyfriend and I are visiting Bergen in December, and one of the evenings his favourite team will be playing football. Instead of staying cooped up in our hotel room to watch it, it’d be great to be able to sit in a bar and have a drink whilst watching it (especially since we’ll be going to a late dinner after to celebrate his birthday!)

Does anyone know of any bars in Bergen where you can watch English Premier League football?

Thank you ♥︎

Study abroad in Bergen, gathering information!

Hello! I’m considering in studying abroad in Bergen next year, and had some questions. Can you do skiing or snowboarding there? I’ve always wanted to try!

If I’m someone who doesn’t drink or party, what is there to do around the city?

Are there nearby cities to visit or is it pretty closed off?

How expensive are groceries and restaurant food? Or does the university of Bergen have a mess hall.

What languages are spoken there and can I get by in English or should I learn Norwegian.

Thank you!!

Tror det forrige byrådet hadde gjort en bedre jobb økonomien

Tror fordelingen hadde vært bedre enn rotekoppene som desverre styrer byen. Høyrebølgen tar fortsatt fra de svake. De kutter jo en haug med tjenester innen helse, mens millioner går til kontordørene til rådhuset. Skal ikke se vekk ifra at en del penger går til visse industrier. De tenker bare på profitt.

Edit: Tror det forrige byrådet hadde gjort en bedre jobb med den trange økonomien(Skrivefeil)

Looking for recommendations on things to do

I was going to be visiting the city with my partner in December but we're in the middle of a rough patch and I'm not sure if I can count on having any help navigating the city and surrounds.

Does anyone have any advice on where to visit, how to get around when you can't drive, etc?

I also need some advice on what to do for Christmas and New Year because I might be alone for both...

Uber in the morning

Hi everyone!

I have an early train tomorrow morning. Just wondering if Ubers are usually available around 7 a.m., or if there's a local e-hailing app I can use in case I can’t find an Uber at that time.

Thanks in advance!

Skyss "smile" ads

Anyone else finds the Skyss ads encouraging people to smile at each other totally creepy? It's obvious they're not used to it so they go totally overboard.

Especially that ad with the girl kind of floating through the bus with people smiling back. Oh, hi Jeffrey, any new handsome boys you met recently? Ed, great to see you, still angry with your mother? Sorry Ted, not sitting beside you, I might be just your type.

This is one of the cases where a foreign consultant from a country with considerably more social skills would have come handy.
