Hilly cities normally have a low share of cycling. How come that Trondheim, the third largest city of Norway, has the
highest share of cycling compared to all the other Norwegian cities? We believe there are there reasons:

Trondheim is a university city with 30 000 students, 90 % of whom using their bicycles as their main transport tool
During the last 20 years, there has been invested more than 20 mill NOK in a bicycle roads network and bicycle transport
infrastructure in Trondheim
One of the most important infrastructure elements is the bicycle lift Trampe. Since the opening in 1993, it's pushed more
than 220 000 cyclist up the very steep hill BBrubakken in the historical heritage part of the city center
There is no doubt that Trampe has inspired students as well as other people living in Trondheim to take to their bicycles.
In a user survey, 41 % of the lift users claim they're using the bicycle more often due to the installation of Trampe.
