After one month in Oslo I realized It's impossible walking around the city without meeting cyclists. Indeed bicycles are one of the most important means of carrying. Just see how many people are going cycling in this wonderful city. Oslo provides its own inhabitants with a lot of opportunities in order to rent a bike. It's pretty easy and quite cheap, you could either apply for a city card that allows you to borrow bikes end to end of the city or you can rent it privately.
Furthermore if you are interested in bikes and subcultures as well Oslo is the right place to get in touch with the hipster movement. It's not so developed in my opinion but it's getting bigger especially in certains zones of the city. Just take a look around or decide to go for a walk in Grünerløkka. It's very easy meeting representatives of this subculture as the guy in the picture below.
By the way "not only cyclists in Oslo". Certainly bikes dominate the underground scene but we don't have to forget the skaters. It's pretty common meeting them around the city or in specific places built up for them with a lot of ramps and sporting facilities. The municipality provides skaters with a few possibilities in order to express themselves and to practice this fascinating activity.
