Get on your bike, and discover another side of Østfold on two-wheels. Here are a few routes well worth exploring around Fredrikstad:

- Torsnes: A scenic tour that will take you through varied landscape, and avoid the worst of the traffic. Start in Gamlebyen and follow Torsnesveien (Rv107) all the way until you pass a sign for Nes, then take it right into Thorsøveien at the next crossing. The loop road will take you to Torsnes, and back onto Tornesveien (24km).

- Glommastien: A popular day cycle along the River Glomma between Fredrikstad and Sarpsborg. Start from the ferry departure point on the west side, and come back on the east side, ending your tour in Gamlebyen (30km).

- Ullerøy: Follow signs for Ullerøy off Rv110, and continue on this road, Ullerøyveien, all the way to the little bridge leading to Nordre Karlsøy. You can continue onto the two small islands before starting the return leg of your trip. On the way back take it left at Røaveien, about 1km after the bridge. This dirt road will take you back to Rv110 through the forest (16km).

- Storedal: Combine this easy cycle through pretty kulturlandscap (fields and farms) with a visit to the Storedal Centre before heading back the way you came. Starts just past Årum off Rv111 (11km).

- Vikane: Start at Slevik on Rv117 and head for Vikane. You will follow a beautiful stretch of coastline before turning inland towards Rv116. Take it right here, and stay on this road for about 1km, before turning right again back towards Slevik (16km).
