I only used it once, so I'm sure my technique was a bit clumsy, but it
was tiresome for my right leg. I'd rather just ride.

Over what distance does it run?

From:

http://www.trondheim.kommune.no/content.ap?thisId=1117615321

It says 130m long with a rise of 24m. In the picture on the page you
can see the whole thing (perhaps somewhat forshortened by a zoom
lens).

For some reason it is only "open" from 7am to 10pm.

Thanks.

That's exactly why I asked the question, as I suspected that a zoom
lens may have been making it appear shorter than it was. But if it's
only 130m, then like you, I think I'd prefer to ride (or push!)

Me too, but I still think it's a great idea for people who don't ride for
sport but for utility. That older lady who goes shopping with her 3-speed
bicycle could certainly use this.

Not if she's been riding it every day since she was a child.
