Everything is expensive in Norway. Miles told us that bicycles will inevitably go on sale to make space for the ski season so we've been shopping around and waiting. Yesterday we finally scored some transportation!

Becca's bike has a basket, a rack, fenders, and an internally-geared 7-speed rear hub. It's pretty much exactly what she was looking for.

My bike satisfies my top three priorities: disk brakes, fenders, and the skinniest tires you can ride while retaining the ability to swap them out for studded tires in the winter. Unfortunately, it also has a bunch of superfluous gears and artwork that objectifies women (the model name is 'Assphalt').
