This is so cool, and I am sad that the idea never caught on in hilly cities like Seattle and San Francisco. I guess the advent of electric bicycles made it less relevant for folks who aren’t steep hill ready.
This “ski lift for cyclists" helps you get up hills
A Norwegian city built “the world's first bicycle lift intended for urban areas,” and over 15 years, it's helped 200,000 cyclists up a 426-foot hill.
