"Answer us this: what’s cooler than riding your bike through a mountain in a
car-free tunnel? Not much if you ask us! Well, soon this will actually be
possible.

Norway is set to open a new bike and pedestrian route that was built parallel
to a light rail tunnel, connecting Fyllingsdalen to the Bergen city center.

This tunnel isn’t just any tunnel. It’s officially the longest, purpose-built,
vehicle-free tunnel in the world. The tunnel is 2.9K long and takes about 10
minutes to cycle through, according to Euronews.

Proof that it was designed by people who really thought through the needs of
the users? It features designated lanes for bikes and pedestrians."
