IT WAS A warm summer day when I walked from our hotel near Trondheim Fjord to the top of the hill overlooking the city (yesterday’s post). The evening before, San Geraldo and I had crossed Old Town Bridge at the bottom of the hill, so I knew where my climb would begin. I could have used Sykkelheisen Trampe, mentioned by hotel staff, if I had had a bicycle. It translates to “Bicycle Lift Pedal” and is also known as CycloCable.
A tour guide with a mass of tourists made it impossible for me to get close to the base station and the instructions, even though I waited 15 minutes, so I gave up and have instead shared information provided on the website.
FROM THE WEBSITE:
The Trampe bicycle lift (Sykkelheisen Trampe) was invented and installed in 1993 by Jarle Wanwik. It is the first and only bicycle lift in the world. When using the lift, the right foot is placed on the starting point (the left foot stays on the bicycle pedal). After pushing the start button, the user is pushed forward and a footplate emerges. A common mistake among tourists and other first-time users is that they don’t keep their right leg outstretched and their body tilted forward. This makes it hard to maintain balance on the footplate, and can result in falling off.
Aren’t you proud of me for not making any juvenile comments about “tramps”?

FUE UN CÁLIDO día de verano cuando caminé desde nuestro hotel cerca del fiordo de Trondheim hasta la cima de la colina que domina la ciudad (la entrada de ayer). La tarde anterior, San Geraldo y yo habíamos cruzado el Puente de la Ciudad Vieja al pie de la colina, así que sabía dónde comenzaría mi escalada. Yo podría haber usado Sykkelheisen Trampe, mencionado por el personal del hotel, si hubiera tenido una bicicleta. Se traduce como “Pedal de elevación de bicicleta” y también se conoce como CycloCable.
Un guía turístico con muchas turistas me hizo imposible acercarme a la estación base y las instrucciones, aunque esperé 15 minutos, así que me di por vencido y, en cambio, compartí la información proporcionada en el sitio web.
DEL SITIO WEB:
El elevador de bicicletas (Sykkelheisen Trampe) fue inventado e instalado en 1993 por Jarle Wanwik. Es el primer y único elevador de bicicletas del mundo. Al usar el elevador, el pie derecho se coloca en el punto de partida (el pie izquierdo permanece en el pedal de la bicicleta). Después de presionar el botón de inicio, se empuja al usuario hacia adelante y emerge una plataforma para los pies. Un error común entre los turistas y otros usuarios primerizos es que no mantienen la pierna derecha estirada y el cuerpo inclinado hacia adelante. Esto dificulta mantener el equilibrio en el reposapiés y puede provocar la caída.
En inglés, un significado de “tramp” es puta. ¿No estás orgulloso de mí por no hacer ningún comentario juvenil sobre “tramps”?

Mientras yo subía la colina.

I can’t get this song out of my head. Climbing. Climbing. Climbing the hill.
No puedo sacar esta canción de mi cabeza. Subiendo. Subiendo. Subiendo la colina.
A bike lift, what an excellent idea! We could use this here in Medellin. Glad you’re having (had) a good trip.
MEBE:
The trip was perfect. Getting ready for tomorrow.
THAT was a cool video with a cool invention! and free too! beats giving yourself a heart attack on an uphill climb. and such a lovely village.
anne marie:
I watched one guy pedal up that hill. He had calves that had obviously been used for that purpose for a long, long time.
What a beautiful place, love the houses(?)/buildings on the water as viewed from the bridge.
Cheapchick:
The houses are from the old docks and warehouses.
I truly enjoyed that video and your post. How interesting! 🙂
Snoskred:
It would have been fun to try the lift. Norway is incredible.
I have never seen such a thing. What a crazy invention, but,hey, it’s a free side, of orts.
That said, it was the colorful houses on the water that made my heart squee with delight!
Bob:
Those buildings are the old docks and warehouses. So beautiful.
I need that here on Mount Eagle.
David:
That would be useful in so many places, but in the United States, whenever someone fell down they’d sue!
I’m so far behind in blogging, I may never get caught up. I am loving the picture from your trip. Norway reminds me of a more rustic Amsterdam.
Mistress Maddie:
That’s a good comparison of some cities in Norway.
All the voices on the vid are speaking english, it that common?
Susan:
English is very common in Norway and most kids start learning it at the age of 5. Not many people in the world speak Norwegian! But that video was done for an English-speaking audience. I’m sure there’s a Norwegian version.
Trampes sound fun to ride.
Adam:
So I’ve heard.
Incredible lift! I can see this being very helpful on a few streets in our city……..any city for that matter. What a quaint little place.
Jim:
Count on Norway to have something like that. That quaint place is a neighborhood in the city of Trondheim; there’s a little of everything there.
“Aren’t you proud of me for not making any juvenile comments about ‘tramps’?
Well, I’m a Cher fan, so I was hoping for some mention of gypsies and thieves.
Kirk,
Oh, this is scary, Kirk. I almost included that song!
“Sykkelheisen Trampe” made me think of that old expression “town bicycle” for some reason.
Debra:
Is that what you called her?!?
