Lade is where the city goes swimming in summer. You cycle from Solsiden out to Ladehammeren and follow the Ladestien trail along the fjord to Korsvika and Djupvika, with sand, smooth rocks and barbecue spots. Then the route goes on to Ringve, with a music museum and a botanical garden that is free. The ride ends at Lade Church from the 1100s. With a period ticket in the AtB app, the city bike is free for 30 minutes per ride.
