RAPHA RIDES OSLO FILM

Rapha have been busy riding their bikes again. This time it's the über cool urban riders that have been out testing kit, in the Norwegian capital Oslo.


According to Rapha, Norway’s capital Oslo offers a different take on urban road riding. The city’s quiet roads, green spaces and buildings painted in muted colours are juxtaposed to the vibrant chaos of London or New York. But it’s also a city of fronts: where imposing exteriors conceal boutique hotels, immaculate restaurants and bars playing techno late into the night.


I couldn't possibly comment, having never ridden my bike in Oslo, but after watching the film I am happy to concur. As always, the film is a joy to watch.


The film is by Ultan Coyle and the music by Henrik Schwarz.
