To Åsane, and back

Date:
19.04.2026
Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
55.1km

The main plan for the day was to visit the textile factor museum in Salhus. To get there, we had planned to take a historic bus from Åsane terminal. To get to Åsane, we used our bikes. Nothing special to report about the bike-trip, though (we biked the same route there and back, using the main bike route around Eidsvågsneset).

To Arboretet in Milde, and back

Date:
12.04.2026
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
29.1km

Just a nice bike-ride to/from Arboretet in Milde. On our way back, we decided to take a slightly different route, following Grimseidvegen, towards the northeast, before finding a connection towards Skage through Skageskogen passing by Kolhushaugen. From Skage, we then continued along Håvardstunvatnet and Skranevatnet. Via Søvik, we eventually made it back onto usual tracks. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Exploring Skiparvika and Skjoldabukta

Date:
06.04.2026
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
32.6km

Just a nice bike trip around Nordåsvatnet (with a bit of exploration near Skjoldabukta). In the southwest of Nordåsvatnet, we followed a "side-line", which brought us to Skranevatnet and Håvardstunvatnet, before passing also by Skeievatnet (then in the south of Nordåsvatnet). After thereafter cycling around Apeltunvatnet, we arrived at Skjold, where we left the bikes behind for a short walk to Skiparvika and Skjoldabukta. On our way back, we traversed Nybøvegen before reconnecting with more usual paths. Just near Hopsbukta, we also included a short detour along Nordahl Griegs vei, before then following the standard route back. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Round around Fyllingsdalen

Date:
03.04.2026
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
27.5km

With a prediction of rain in the early afternoon, we decided to just cycle a little (towards Bergen and back), instead of aiming for a mountain top. First, we headed northwards along Bjørgeveien. Instead of cycling directly to Bjørndalen, however, we decided to make a simple detour around Bjørndalspollen, taking advantage of the little bridge at Hetlevikstraumen. At Loddefjord, we turned right and continued towards Laksevåg on the southeasern side of Lyderhorn (along Liavatnet). In the north of Holefjellet, we then parked our bikes for a few minutes to walk up to Noven and take a look at the historic relics from WWII there. Especially in times, when war seems to become "normal" again, it's moving particularly to be reminded of the major catastrophy that unfolded when a four-digit >>>

Round around Nordåsvatnet

Date:
28.03.2026
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
23.8km

Without a particular goal in mind, we just thought that biking around Nordåsvatnet could be nice. After first heading south, in the west of Sælevatnet, we then crossed over Straume to Søreide, where we took a look a the church (just from the outside). Cycling up via Karlsmarka to connect to Dolvikvegen was an unusual alternative, then. Next, we had the idea to explore Søvika a little. Once back on Steinsvikvegen, we then followed "the usual track" around Steinsvika. We then connected to Nordåsvegen, but not via the usual connection (that's a bit higher up), but via Nordåsbrotet. Next was to cycle down to Skjoldabukta before it was up again along Harald Skjolds veg. Via Skjoldvegen and Sundts veg, we then got to Hopsåsen, which also was unusual as a connection to Troldhaugvegen. >>>

Round around Fyllingsdalen

Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
1:45h
Distance:
27.3km

Was man nicht im Kopf hat, hat man (hoffentlich) in den Beinen, sagt man. I had left something at work, which I wished to use, and since the weather was quite OK, I thought that I could combine the necessary with some biking. I started by surrounding Bønes on its south (north of Nordåsvatnet), heading eastwards. North of Gamlehaugen, when arriving at Fjøsanger, I decided that I could visit Storetveit kirke, which I had seen numerous times while biking either to or from work, but never really visited up-close. Then, I continued further northwards towards the center of Bergen. After picking up my stuff, I then thought that I could equally well continue this "round around Fyllingsdalen", aiming at Laksevåg, next. After passing over Nygårdshøyden and Puddefjordsbroen, I then >>>

From Rotterdam to Haarlem

Date:
09.11.2025
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
8:00h
Distance:
81.1km

Our plan for the day was to get to Haarlem (from Rotterdam) and given the promising weather forecast we decided to bike there. Starting relatively early from Rotterdam, our first intermediate goal was Delft, where we aimed at some nice breakfast. While we initially thought to cycle along the Schie, we instead ended up following a bike route in parallel to the highway between Rotterdam and Delft. This route was not as nice as the planned one, but it brought us to Delft relatively quickly. In Delft, we then cycled to the main square, where we enjoyed a nice breakfast, sitting outside in the sun. Next, we aimed at getting to the dunes in the north of Den Haag. Close to Scheveningen, we then entered the dunes park. From there, it was then a very nice bike ride along a fine bike path in parallel >>>

Rottemeren from/to Rotterdam

Date:
08.11.2025
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
41.1km

We arrived with the water bus from Dordrecht near Erasmusbrug in Rotterdam and rented bikes on our way towards the center of Rotterdam. Given the pleasant autumn weather, we decided to take the bikes on a ride to Rottemeren. We first cycled to Kralingse Plas and then, via Rotterdam Alexander, to the Rotte a bit further north. Following the Rotte further northwards, we then cycled to Veerpont Bleiswijk, before turning around and cycling back to Rotterdam. Once back in Rotterdam, we first visited the Kunsthal, before later refilling some energies. All in all, a very nice day on the bike in Rotterdam! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Donaupark, first, and then towards Mauer

Date:
06.11.2025
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
12:00h
Distance:
40.3km

I first biked to Austria Center Vienna for the conference, which I attended during these days. During the lunch break, I made a nice stroll through Donaupark right next to the conference center to catch some fresh air and some late autumn sun. After returning to Wien Landstrasse after the conference, my second goal of the day was to visit the southwest of Vienna. To get there, I biked via Margareten and along Edelsinnstrasse, before crossing over the railtracks for good to continue into the direction of Mauer. On my way back, I followed a similar route, just not descending into Margareten, again, but cycling along Wiedener Hauptstrasse instead. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .
