Not a bad workday today either 😎

One more baana (our bicycle superhighway) starting to take shape in #Oulu, Finland, replacing an old unpleasant narrow combined path from the 1960's 👌

Taking your best friends out 🤗

With our maintenance contractor #OulunKonetyo today at a pathside event, collecting feedback from the bike path users directly, and giving out snacks 🤗

Snowy day yesterday and this foot & bike path was being plowed for the umpteenth time. I lost count tbh 😅

'twas a pretty day to go out biking on the frozen sea today as well 🤗

In #Oulu, the main bike path maintenance contractor's potential bonuses depend on user satisfaction levels. There are over 150 voluntary anonymous agents observing & reporting maintenance quality of the bike paths. But today they managed to spot one of them 🦉

Taking a shortcut over the frozen sea, by bike of course. So not only do we maintain 99% of the 950 km bike path network through winter here, but actually expand our network during the ice season 🥰🤗

Im Winter mit dem Fahrrad fahren? Aber sicher! Die finnische Stadt #Oulu gilt weltweit als Vorbild in Sachen Radinfrastruktur und Winterdienst.

Well over 2000 ppl on bikes at this counter yesteray already at 8pm. But how about today? Today we unfortunately have again a serious thaw (+5C, lots of rain and strong winds) here. My guess is that the numbers will go down, but by how much? Hopefully I'll have the change to check later in the evening.

"We are just regular wimps, blessed with good infrastructure and maintenance". It doesn't matter how cold it gets. The city makes cycling and walking fast, easy and comfortable. There's no other magic needed ❄️🚲🥰

Brittiläinen BBC hehkuttaa oululaisia pyöräilijöitä ja heidän kulkupelejään videossa. "Joidenkin mielestä olemme tosi ”hardcorea”. Olemme kuitenkin vain tavallisia nynnyjä, joita on siunattu hyvällä infrastruktuurilla ja kunnossapidolla" 🤗❄️🚲🥰

First time over 2000 ppl on bikes in a day (also before 9pm) on a single counter this year perhaps? 🥰❄️🚲
#MeanwhileInOulu #Oulu

Quite challenging conditions with +2C, rain, slush, ice etc yesterday, perhaps worst of this winter. But now all that is finally frozen over and I couldn't be happier ;) And now for example on this specific counter alone we're on our way to a new daily 2023 record with 1651 ppl on bikes already before 7pm 🤗

After the past weekend’s snowstorm (Fri), rain (Sat) and +3C (Sun) it’s satisfying to see that today (Mon) our bike paths are cleaned to perfection to enable free movement for all ages, all abilities. This is #Oulu, after all🤗. Good winter mainentance of bike paths is not a question about money but about prioritization. Good winter maintenance is not an engineering problem but a political one. #meanwhileinOulu #ThisIsFinland #AllAgesAllAbilities

Snowy day yesterday here in Oulu. I went to check how many people arrived by bicycle at this local Kastelli school & community center. Check it out 👇
