Andreas Køhn is a loner and a bit of a loner as well. He admits that quite openly. This includes his drive to reduce emissions. For the past two years, he has been traveling exclusively by bicycle to his ski tours in his native Norway.

Billøs means carefree in English, and carless is Andreas, because a repair for his car is too expensive for him. That’s why he forgoes this luxury completely, switching to a bicycle and touring the Bodø, Lyngen and Lofoten regions with it. What he always has in his luggage is a lot of self-irony – even in the worst conditions. “The advantage of descents on blue ice is that they are always untracked.”

This film is “simple & basic at its best”. Almost everything filmed by yourself and a CO2 footprint with virtually zero emissions. Except for a ferry ride to Lofoten, there is only muscle power. Andreas doesn’t let rainfall or “skating rinks” stop him and always looks to a brighter future, “Next month will be great. The next month.”
