Section of this bike path was very poorly illuminated, so 1st of Oct I sent feedback to the city, asking them to fix this. Not just a dead lamp, but there wasn't even any poles. To my surprise, they installed a completely new one quite quickly 🤌

Paremmalla lumilogistiikalla ja lumitilojen suunnittelulla sekä lähisiirtopaikkojen paremmalla hyödyntämisellä kaupungit voisivat säästää satoja tuhansia euroja vuodessa, sekä tehostaa ja nopeuttaa talvikunnossapitoa huomattavasti. Tässä laskelma Tampereelta. 1/2
Weather isn’t a barrier to winter cycling, poor infrastructure is. 42% of Oulu residents con’t to cycle in the winter & 1000 elementary kids ride year-round. Make it fast, easy & comfortable to cycle and people of all ages will ride in all seasons. @pekkatahkola@WorldWinterBike
This is how all congresses should start their days before any lectures or talks. Well done Winter Cycling Congress Edmonton and YEG @coffee_outside@WorldWinterBike 🥰

Metsokangas elementary school in the far suburbs of Oulu 🇫🇮. It was -31°C in the morning (-40° windchill). This is just 1 of the 4 parking lots for students. It's not about the cold,it's the safe infrastructure & excellent maintenance. No rocket science.
