I went to the storage room to see if there was a bicycle I could ride here -- I would love to circle the island one time before we leave -- but I don't think that's going to work out. One bike is clearly Harald's; the seat is set up much too high for me and it will require a screwdriver to get it set lower, and even if I can get it adjusted I fear the frame is too long for me, and even if I could ride it, the pedals are the clip-on-shoes kind, which I don't have. The other bike here is missing its seat. I found the seat, but even with WD-40 (or the European equivalent) I couldn't get it back into its socket. And the tires seem a bit aged -- the rubber feels wrong. I'm not sure where I could rent or borrow a bike or how much it would cost, but that might be an option. When we get to Oslo I'm going to try to find bikes for all of us.
