Sykkelheis

I found a very cool video on Youtube this morning.

As you probably know, there are a lot of folks in Norway who use bicycles as their primary form of transportation. To further encourage this, the city of Trondheim installed a "sykkelheis" to help riders up a very steep hill.



The closest thing I've ever seen to the sykkelheis is the cart-vator at the Target store in downtown Minneapolis. Care to venture any theories on what that says about American culture? Or my laziness?
