      You can get cars way cheaper, but they are propably sold out like hotels in the busiest season so book early as you can. Like starting from 30-40e per day.

      Have You heard about Winter Olympics ? Those Games Are Outdoors – 2022 in China ! I believe that – When You were on The bridge – IT was an River – and running water – that takes longer / colder weather to freeze over ! Many Car Companies – come to Finland – to test and make sure – that You May use Your Car at – Winter too ! But Really liked that You found Those bikes – and All the training – You Did for NEXT Winter Olympics 2026 !

      Its actually Kemijoki (river), not a lake, tho its dammed a bit south from there, so it doesnt flow that much.
      This is my first winter I bought studded tires for my bike, after some 3 decades. Ive slipped a few times, but practice makes perfect as they say.
      Coldest weather Ive been biking was -48c in january -99, at a neighbouring municipality to Rovaniemi. The bike started to become quite frozen, so other than parts of face, I got sweaty.

      Awesome video! Also, I love that they took the time to indicate temperatures in Celsius as well. Very considerate of others <3

      Sometimes when it's below -20c when I ride my bike to work I use ski goggles and completely cover my face.. it helps a lot.

      Thats kind of funny when people come here in finland and says its so cold and its -14°C and they have million layers of clothers. I think they would be dead when its -30°C😅😅 ive been born in finland and to me -24°C is not super freezing and i can go outside with college pants, thin sweather and slightly thicker jacket and scarf and no hat or gloves😅😅😅

      -12F (-24°C) is just normal winterday here in Rovaniemi. As we Finnish say, it's just weather when are start thinking wear long underwear 😜😂

      I spent years living in North Alberta, if you didnt go outside and ride bikes or run in cold weather you would only have 3 months a year to do it. Its all about the right clothes for the job. I once trained for a marathon in 40 below weather, layers of clothes are the way to go.
