This is wonderful to see! I think the sign looks great, it's not too intrusive yet still shows everything needed to know. Helt perfekt!

You are a marvelous storyteller with such a soothing voice listening to. I could listen to you all day long - and frankly I nearly have. I’m not a biker. My body does not allow that. But you make me wish I could be. More importantly, though, is you make me even more proud of my country the way you present your experiences. I drove Sognefjellsveien by car a few weeks ago and we stopped at the top taking lots of pictures and many of them included the sign you put up. Nice job! It speaks a lot about you having the authorities listening to you and taking your advice. Keep up the good work you do! And lots of thanks for the videos you make.

Congrats Matthew! What a Joy to see you dancing and enjoying another step accomplished. So much ahead of you!

Oh dear, I got so emotional watching your video! We cycled Sognefjellet on 13.06.22, so probably one of the last day before the new signs. We climbed from the Western side, with fully loaded touring bikes and terrific weather. It was not snowing but it was entirely foggy and all we could see was white, ground was white, sky was white, we could only follow the grey line of the road, it felt so much like we were not on Earth anymore but in some kind of extremely cold dream. We've been on the bikes for 2 years but this was definitely one of the hardest day ever. The toilets before the peak saved us to say the least. We didn't know what to expect on the road, so it was a great surprise to arrive at the ski resort and get something warm to drink. After that we rode past the peak, and yes, we were slightly disappointed that there was only a tiny tiny little sign in front of two bins... So putting up new signs is really on point, thank you for participating in that ! We cycled the whole length of Norway for more than 3 months and I wish Norway will soon recognize the potential of developping cycle touring and routes and invest in a nationwide plan. In some regions it is already the case and it was much nicer to cycle there. All the best for your channel and cycling in Norway, I am getting back to editing all the video footages from our trip !

We were on the Sognefjellet yesterday Matthew and we saw the 'moh' signs, every single one of them. They should be on every decent mountain pass. I somehow -weirdly- felt great for you and I event don't know at all. I told your story to my kids in the car as an example that little initiatives do make a difference as opposed to doing nothing and complaining. Well done Matthew 👏!!

You're doing a great job Matthew. I hope you will manage to implement all your plans👍 And fix all roads😁 One of the best channel of YT

We were in Sognefjellet in mid August and were so happy about these signs! Such a great initiative. Thanks so much! Looking forward to new upgrades 😁👌🏼👏🏼

Love those Norwegians. What a country. What a people.

Because of your videos if I ever get a chance to travel it's going to be Norway. Man what a beautiful, beautiful place. Thank you Matthew.

Well done 👍 good work , this country and the routes you’ve shown over all your videos make me want to cycle them more and more every time , thank you 😊

Beautiful. I salute you, Matthew, changing the world for the better, one small step at a time.

Matthew, I believe that big things are coming up to you. You have a goal and you are consistent in your work. Norway that I know doesn’t let such people down. Good luck, man!

We are following your video's recently. Thee are fantastic to watch. In 2015 we also visit Norway and the Lofots. Thank you for sharing your beautiful vieuws!!

Dude! I drove over Sognefjellet literally 22 hours ago and noticed these signs all the way up. So cool you had a hand in getting them up there. They are awesome and I wouldn't mind seeing them on a lot more mountain passes.

Congratulations Matthew. Great to see all your work and love for the Norwegian Cycle community coming to fruition. Long May it continue and we saw more dodgy happy dancing 😂

Great video - I've driven across the Sognefjellet, back in 2014, and have a photo with the wee sign you show near the start of the video - I always wondered why they never made a bigger deal of it, so kudos to you for getting this done! Can't wait to go back to Norway one day.

I wouldn't describe your channel as 'little' anymore. It's fast becoming a force to be reckoned with and rightly so. We're all rooting for you fella and are excited to be on the journey with you.

truly amazing - well done on your positive effect on cycling. start small and the momentum will build.

Great work, Matthew!! You're an inspiration!

Congrats on the big project, hope it blooms into many wonderful opportunities in the future!

Going to cycle Lofoten 07-26 -- 08-10 this year because of your videos. Good job, you are making a difference!

Hurra Matthew!!! Great start!!! You are an inspiration for me. So last July 8 - 11 I managed to arrange a bike tour from Oslo to Voss via Rallarvegen/Flåm with a group of friends. Indeed the Norwegian landscape is so much beautiful and no words can explain even the photos can't justify how majestic and wonderful Norway is. There's a lot to improve in terms of cycling route to be more "cycling friendly (the Tunnel's most specially)." But all in all I appreciate how majority of the vehicle's respect us Cyclists on the road kuddos to all of you who patiently waits before overtaking us!!! So Matthew again thank you for your initiative and to the Norwegian government who listen and understand the situation's of a cyclists in Norway. Veldig Bra Matthew 👍✌️

What an incredible storyteller you are! Besides being a highly skilled camera operator, editor and sound engineer. But it's the storytelling for me that sticks. Subscribed! Greetings from Sweden.

Thanks for all your efforts Matthew! You’re doing god’s work here 🤩

I think these signs is a great addition, good effort!

Good Job Matthew :) Make me wanna cycle the road myself! Much love!

Well done, Matthew!! Love your channel and your initiative.

This explains the signs I saw yesterday in my way home from Sogndalsfjøra where my parents have their cabin. Nice work.

Great work as always! We need those signs on the Lysebotn climb! :)

AMAZING!!! You've made my day 🙂

Nice to see 'Mathew -The Bandit' there!😅😅 Wonderful video mate. I hope you come up with lots more of these brilliant ideas. Btw, can't wait to cycle up there.

Honestly how do you not have more subscribers?! Amazing content! Keep it up!

Great signs and video!

Brilliant video yep would love to cycle it 🍀🇮🇪

I hope they will listen to all your suggestions you seem like a very passionate guy thanks for improving our country!

You're doing an amazing job, Matthew! Excellent content and good advice, as always 👌😊 Keep up the good work, and awaiting more riding and touring videos. Side note: Because of you, I've this summer debuted as a bikepacker. Did a 5 day trip camping, riding some of the roads I've seen you ride (Gamle Strynefjellsvegen, Grimsdalen +++). Amazing experience and made me hungry for more.

Gratulerer med dagen!

Greetings Matthew. I am a very new subscriber. Your photography skills and putting the story together is terrific! I like the different camera angles, including the aerial views and the up-close views and interaction with other cyclists. Congratulations concerning the signs! The signage is a great idea.

Great work!

’ve Booked my cycling trip to Norway!!!!!! I couldn’t be more excited to return to Norway. I’m rewatching your videos and making a plan. Arriving in Bergen and picking up a road bike in Voss. I will have a rental car and staying in Airbnb units. Your videos inspired me to return. Thank You.

In the summer of 1993 a friend of mine an me cycled this route on our way to North Cape. And we even haven't been aware of this being Norway's highest mountain pass road. Thank you for these beautiful memories.

So great! I love it.

I'll be thinking about you when driving this road in summer.

Drove there this summer and really enjoyed having these signs alongside the road.

Amazing view

That's a Star Wars reference, with the hiding in your horse thing. And Highway banditry..?! Never heard of such things in any local legends.. 🤠..🇧🇻

Class av stumbled across your channel quality mate much love fae bonnie Scotland ❤

Good Job im happy for you!😘

congratulations !!!!!! 😃❤

Once again you've made a very enjoyable video. Until I saw this I hadn't imagined how important signs like these are for the whole experience. You should call them Selfie Signs. Well done both on your video and on your consulting! BTW, kudos for adding a post credit scene. A little hint of Marvel there.

Fantastic!

Werner is hilarious. Great job with the signs guys!

Friggin' amazing job 😃

Very inspiring 🚴

i saw these signs on my visit to norway, it was great!

Sognefjellsveien has been a feature of most of my life and I know all the old signs by heart, but I'll make sure to get a pic with the new and improved signs next time I pass by.

Good work man!

Nice work Matthew :)

Amazing!

What a fantastic way to do the signage.

This is very nice to see. My parents always drilled in my head how grateful we should be for the hard work the men and women who set up our road, electricity network etc across the country, in a time when they did not have modern equipment.

Kudos,Matthew. For a moment I thought you were getting a switchback named after you….maybe in the future? 😁 Keep up the good work.

Such a wonderful video. I’d love to go Norway and do a bit of the gravel stuff

I drove that road in July 2019 with my RV. It was not snowing or even raining then but it was quite foggy up there, so the glaciers didn't show very well. The temperature was about +5°C when I stopped on that exact location where you changed the sign. I have a selfie with that 1434 sign behind me. When I drove that 30km down to Skjolden, there was something like +25°C.

Bra innsats Matthew! og SVV

Signage - nice work Matthew and govt.

What you are achieving is incredible Matthew. Congratulations, you're doing a great work! I'm looking forward to visit Norway. P.s. I spot a new bike, wanna talk about it?

Looks like a great route, Norway is so on my ride to do list. Well done Matthew and well done Norwegian State for listening if only more states would. Frankly Norway looks bloody cool 🤙

The cyclist/hiker only camping sites look like a fantastic idea for areas that get too much use, several locations with a half dozen or so sites fairly close to each other that can be rotated would help relieve the stress on the forest fauna and soil. A simple shared shelter/table for cooking and a pit toilet, the shelter would also be an alternate place to spend some time waiting for the weather to improve/dry out besides cramped up in a tent and the pit would keep human bodily waste in one treatable spot. Even a small fee to cover firewood and lime for the pit I'm sure most would have no objection to. They could look at a similar system for cars (maybe a removable bridge over the roadside ditch to close areas to recover).

Congratulations!! I would love to see cycling improvements like that here in Ontario Canada. I have Norway, on my bucket list to ride thanks to you!!

On the Sognefjellsvegen I really fell in love with Norway…

A must see for a lot of norwegians (living in cities, that is) who haven't an IDEA what their nation look like! Great!

Like to thank you for your work in improving cycling in Norway. I just completed EuroVelo1 in Norway in early August and it was an amazing journey.Thanks for your help! I would like to make one recommendation to the Norwegian Visitor Board not only for cyclist,but for all visitors from outside Europe. .To obtain a pay as you go SIM card for data is next to impossible I stopped numerous places and No one had this type of sim card for data or you needed Norwegian identify card. I have been in every country in east and west Europe over the last 20 years and could always buy a local SIM card. Not in Norway. Many countries even have vending machines in the airport arrival halls where you can buy. If you can pass this recommendation on to the Norwegians it would appreciated. Respectfully requested, Tom USA

7:08 ahh... the brutal honesty just comes out, "you're damn right!" 😂

Thre's a national park in Romania which I thought was the most beautiful spot in Europe. I was wrong. Norway. Hands down. Thanks for sharig. Bring spare sunglasses next time :)

Thank you for showing me the wonderful view, I am sorry to say that I cannot hear the foreign language, but I enjoyed the wonderful view.

Congratulations to the top.ranger.

Hi Matthew, less than 10 days ago I was there with my motorcycle coming back from Nordkapp. I stopped in front of this signpost and took pictures, composing the photos with my Ducati and the signpost with the glacier on the background. I can’t believe you are the one who recommended this signpost! Thank you! And what a coincidence!!! Greetings from Italy!

Thank you

Nice.

I drove this road and many other national tourist routes by car. Cycling them must be really adventurous!

It makes me so happy to see you getting in the spirit and joining in on the "dugnad" of making these destinations more accessible and pleasant. You were already doing so much by showing all these places in an interesting and beautiful format online, but I'm glad you're taking a more active role. As you probably could tell, "complaints" and other feedback is much appreciated. There's a lot of will and resources to get these things done. I believe that through making these places as welcoming and pretty as they can be, the people who visit there will be more respectful and careful and even feel encouraged to participate by picking up trash and clearing paths and informing others. You should feel home there, because it belongs to everyone and should be treated that way.

1 of the few tourist roads i still have to ride with my motorcycle.. This one and Trollstigen, the last one was closed when i was near due to the avalanche earlier this year :(

Great job! Coming up from Skjolden today I looked for your signs, but it appears they are not on that climb. I could use som encouragement as I was quite steep in parts on a fully loaded bike! But I got a selfie with the one on the top 😀 Thanks!

Great video! I traveled through Norway for a few months last year and this definitely was my favorite road to drive. The surrounding area is gorgeous and is lovely for hiking.

Well done Matthew, I’ll bet you were overjoyed 👍 Stickers covering signs are selfish vandalism imo.

Very informative and entertaining. Cyclists are a special kind of people.

All because one British cyclist complained 😂. This is the most positive, and scenic complaining I have seen. Certainly, a win to celebrate!

As someone who lives and bikes in Norway, I’d LOVE to see the government establish independent bike paths like they have in Finland. I was amazed to see paved bike paths along the entire stretch of main highways in Finland. There is, however, quite a difference in terrain so the cost would be much higher. And I’m sure you’re well aware of the poor road maintenance in general in Norway. One can dream….

nice

Ty

I moved to Oslo 2 years ago. Great place 👌 One proposal : ready made plans to take a train out of the city and have a nice way back already planned for, through nature or from cabin to cabin.

o god u are going to fill all our roads whit bicycles in the summer time now Lol :D

Well done. Any plans for signs on other scenic summits?

Great job Matthew! These signs really improve the travelling experience. May I ask on which date the sign was put up? I drove across Sognefjellet on July 6 between 10am and 12pm, and I noticed that the old 1434 sign was gone, but the new 1428 sign hadn't been put up yet, so I could only take a picture of the small Fantesteinen sign. I also saw a yellow mesta car at the parking lot, so maybe I only missed the opening by a couple moments :D

" It's a sign!!!......He is the Messiah!!! "

Thank you for improving our country, seems like "foreign intervention" is quite effective to make changes.

You are changing/improving your adopted country one small step at a time, what more can a human do?

We drove over this summer. It was so foggy, we didn't see anything, so we have to come back.
