Norway is beautiful and hilly, and can be recommended for cycling trips at least from April to September. In winter, wheels with spikes are recommended due to ice on the roads.
Most roads are shared with cars. In western and northern parts of Norway, ferries may be needed to cross the fjords (time schedules need to be checked). There are many tunnels; look at this map to see which are safe to bike.
Cafés are not found everywhere, so lunch stops need to be planned (or bring your own lunch and find a place to stop along the road).
Please remember travel insurance, use a helmet, lock your bicycles and keep your luggage safe.
