World’s first bicycle lift – In Trondheim, Norway

Trondheim in Norway was the first city in the world with a lift specially designed for cyclists. The bicycle lift is used by cyclists to climb up the Brubakken hill near Gamle Bybro. The lift requires you to purchase a key card. To use the lift you insert your key card, put your right foot on the foot rest and sit back on your bicycle seat and the lift moves at a speed of about 2 metres per second.

The whole thing looks a bit weird to me. Normally, the reason I use bicycle is to ride it. This is like those fellows I have seen in UK, who will take the bicycle on a train to travel 3 kilometres
