Norway by bike

In the summer of 2013 we decided to cycle through Norway as far North as we could. We ended up doing about 2000km although we also had our 6 month old son Leo with us sat in a Tout Terrain trailer on the back of my bike:
We'd been living in Norway 3 years and thought that it would be a good chance to see the place. Leo was at a good age and we thought it would be a good opportunity to try out a few things without too much stress. There's always a campsite or a cabin not far away in Norway and it would teach us how to deal with quite a wide range of challenging terrain and weather.

It was really hard to find out good information about doing something like this with a baby so we thought we'd find out for ourselves. Apart from the extra weight of the trailer it was actually quite easy. Our only difficult challenge was the light at night which we solved with a tent inside a tent just for Leo. We also made lots of use of Warm Showers.
