It is rather beautiful here in Oulu 🇫🇮, right now. Absolutely no filters needed at all 🤌
-20°C, wind chill -28°C.
This is one of our main cycling and walking routes (#8) and here we have a 5 km stretch with ZERO at-grade crossings with motor traffic. I repeat, it's physically impossible to meet any motor traffic here. So it is very peaceful, safe and comfortable to ride and walk completely uninterrupted. Just bliss.
@pekkatahkola In our Belarus also are beautiful now. But here are warmer, -16, and the roads are worse. 😀
@pekkatahkola Do you use some sort of winter tires on bicycles?
@pekkatahkola @CosmicCactus How do you keep the bicycle from slipping and sliding or is the snow route prepped accordingly?
@bensunshine @CosmicCactus It is. We call it maintenance 🤗

#PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
Through a series of simple changes, the city of Oulu, bordering Lapland, encourages its residents to cycle through the long, dark, snowy winter. What can other cities learn from the pioneer of winter cycling?
It's a crisp winter morning in the Finnish coastal city of Oulu, the fourth most northerly city in the world, just 100km (60 miles) south of the Arctic Circle.
