With ongoing challenges in American transit and sustainable transport, it’s refreshing to look at a success story elsewhere. One standout example is in Bergen, Norway, where an underutilized space was transformed into one of the longest and most impressive car-free tunnels in the world.
In a deep dive by Not Just Bikes, the video highlights how Bergen reclaimed this tunnel to create a seamless, stress-free biking experience. More than just a commuter path, it serves as an underground public art museum, a social hub, and arguably the best place to teach a child how to ride a bike. The tunnel is also integrated into Bergen’s top-tier public transit system, offering a stark contrast to North American infrastructure.
This project isn’t just about biking; it’s about reimagining urban spaces for a healthier, more connected future.
