Photo: NTBSCANPIX NTB's photo text in 1940: "Since gasoline has hardly been in Norway, the bike has conquered an ever -increasing space. Sometimes cycling traffic is so large that one would think one went into the streets of Copenhagen. But there is even a big difference between the Danish and Norwegian cyclists. However, the Norwegian lacks completely traffic culture, they almost do not know the driving rules. However, Oslo Police have initiated an intense propaganda for proper cycling.
