She provided a thorough explanation of bike operation for those of us who had never ridden an e-bike before and a brief review of the rules of the road before embarking on our tour. It was raining when we began but the rain soon stopped and we had an enjoyable and educational ride visiting many of the scenic and important sites in Oslo.
