Hey folks, I'm norweegi... West coast of Norway is an absolute must. Never did it by bike, only by car and foot, but it should be awsome. Just don't camp in some poor farmers field, it can them pretty upset. Just came back from Oslo and yes it is an expensive country, especially now with the current oil inflated exchange rate! 1sterling will just get you 10norwegian (got you nearly 14 some years back). This means a pint of beer in a bar will cost you about £5.50, a six pack of beer in a shop (REMA shop or something can be a tad cheaper than say MENY which more posh) is about £7.50 and whale meat for about £20/kilo. Yes a gas station will charge you £2.50 for a coke but remember that tap water is prette excellent anywhere in the country (beats the hell outa any of the stuff you buy bottled here - really!)
The goverment run NSB train company offers a special cross country one way ticket deal called "minipris" from about £20 to about £40 to all the major destinations - subject to certain times etc etc.. http://www.nsb.no/ticket_and_travelterms/minipris/article24726-2752.html
Thats not a bad deal guys and girls and they are happy to take the bike.. I'm happy to take any questions regarding Norwegian shopping experiences, but don't ask me too much about this vast country as i am from Oslo and we're retarded and only leave the city to go to London.
On a related topic, I'm thinking to take my bike from London to give it a home in Oslo, after the summer. Thinking from Harwich via Holland or Denmark with final ferry to Oslo. Never did longer distances with a fixie or single speed so this should be fun..!
Anyway pleased to say hi..
