The top of the steep street Brubakken with the top end of Trampe, the only bicycle lift on this planet. It's an upwards protruding 'pedal' running along the edge of the sidewalk (pavement). You just insert your special plastic card, place your right foot on the lift's 'pedal' and your butt on the bicycle seat, and you hopefully get a pleasant ride for 130 meters to the top of Brubakken. More than a hundred lazy cyclists actually use this contraption every day.

The motor on top that pulls the wire. The technician has removed the cover.
