This type of camera (fisheye) is way better suited for these riding videos because it imitates much better the real cycling experience by giving a wider point of view. Great upgrade from the old videos. I only wish the audio was better. Maybe get a separate special windproof mic or something? Either way, I have learned a lot about cycling infra from your videos and you are now one of my very few favorite Youtube channels. Greetings from Kosovo.
the bike garages how much does the upper racks weigh? bike is about 35lb then the rack to lift. do women or handicap have priority for lower racks????? and do yiou guys do anything like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIWDwxPs-Js i do i'm 67 and light my bike up, we go 1st friday of the month about 8 at night, do about 5 miles then party in a vacant lot then another 5 miles its pretty fun and about 150 to 250 show up… if so i'd love to see some of your footage ,, i seen some of paris doing it…. love your videos and what your doing thanks david
Nice vid. Is the climate not a problem with cycling in Finland? Not that they can't handle the lower temperatures, but more that the surface gets slippery because of ice and snow and it becomes dangerous.
Hi, I am writing on behalf of Estonian TV3 show Laser. We are doing a story about bikelanes and would like to show viewers how rest of the world can build bike lanes. May we use your videos as an example in our show?
Very clean streets, not too much traffic either. I found it striking, from my perspective as an avid cyclist and Dutchman on top of that, that in the trench, on the pedestrian footway hardly any pedestrian was to be seen, yet the space allocated for pedestrians was disproportionate to the cyclepath. Could be the time of day, regardless, it caught my attention. Another thing that caught my attention was that, next to roads, both the footpath and the cyclepath having the same level of height as the regular car roads without other means of seperation (i.e. a raised verge or curb stones to "deflect" heavier traffic, this does seem a bit uncomfortable from both pedestrian and cyclist point of view. Even as a motorist, I would be afraid of hitting something or someone after accidentally swerving off, even if the chances are close to zero.
Regardless, to have such a beautiful piece of infrastructure… Well, one can hardly complain.
why those people drive in both lanes…? is it a right side traffic? why they want to drive side by side when theres so great infrastructure they could use and make biking safe for everybody, also people driving in opposite way…

Love your videos sir
Is it just me, or is there no sound/comments?
18:55 cool bicycle parking.
Helmet in basket in case they go ski jumping.

Especially the ditch for pedestrians and cyclists great!
Would you consider Helsinki as a car centric city?
Did they plan the space between the two roads as a bicycle space or did they remodel that after?
Greetings from New Zealand.
Fabulous video, but Helsinki?!
Looks like an outdoor prison to me.
No greenery, all concrete, glass and steel.
brrrrrr, frozen bicycle parking.
oh thats cool nice paths
i think the bikes are going to get real popular in america when the oil runs out one day
For someone who lives in a densely populated area, this video is terribly satisfying and relaxing to watch!
Those on road cycle lanes are not always clearly marked, and are probably near invisible in rain or snow. Or at night.

Nice
All these stupid drivers like to accelerate quickly just to stop at the intersection.
