#Norway is about to open the world's longest purpose-built bicycle and pedestrian tunnel in Bergen.

It's 2.8 km (1.7 miles) long, and filled with art...

@straphanger the purpose of transport is not very clear to the guy that explains the tunnel, it seems. He mainly sees health benefits.

And why is the example cyclist wearing hi-viz clothing? In a tunnel that is only for cyclists?

@CyclesSmiles It hasn't really opened yet. They're in the testing phase.

@straphanger @CyclesSmiles The tunnel is open now, it opened this spring. But this video is from before the opening.

Hi-viz clothing is quite normal as bike clothing in Norway, even though half the year is bright light, the other half is dark.

@tanketom @straphanger thank you for the explanation. Always glad to learn.
