P.S. If You are interested to know, I updated my About me page inserting a picture about what I achieved in my work employed by Finnair nearly 40 years. It is the second photo from the top. It was not much, but visible every day round the world.
Travels in Finland and abroad 
oh wow! I had no idea that you could do cycling on the snow. As you say it is common in Finland. I would be too frightened that I would slide but I guess if there are studs on the tyres it would prevent that.

Beautiful winter cycling photos Matti. I saw quite a lot of people cycling in the snow last winter when I was in Tampere so the post brought back happy memories for me.
Comment by Little Miss Traveller — February 12, 2019 @ 11:13 |
Hello Marion.
Nice to read that You were there in Winter. Last time we were in Tampere October 5, 2018. We made a theatre weekend trip. Usually we visit theatres in other towns than Helsinki. In New year we were in Varkaus. Next time we will go to Pori theatre in April. Thank You commenting so nicely.
Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 12, 2019 @ 12:23 |
I never understood why people would cycle in the snow, but then I discovered that they have special snow tires for the bikes. However, it just seems like it would be too cold with the wind blowing in your face.
Comment by hjonasson — February 12, 2019 @ 11:59 |
Hello Heather.
Always cold weather is not cold, but adding the wind, then it feels really cold on the skin. Thank You leaving Your kind comment.
Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 12, 2019 @ 12:36 |
Hello Matti,
It must be exciting (and good exercise!) to cycle in the snow! Now I understand: it’s important to have special tires in order to cycle in the snow 🙂 Thank you for sharing these scenes of your beautiful city. (We have some snow in my town (Tsukuba, Japan), but not like in your photos.)
Comment by T Ibara Photo — February 12, 2019 @ 12:17 |
How cold is it at the moment?
Comment by Timothy — February 12, 2019 @ 12:35 |
Hello Timothy.
Thank You commenting. I just checked actual weather: -9 centigrade. Last Year it was -19 Centigrade when shooting these photos. Wind was heavy, which made the real feel -29 Centigrade. 🙂 This means that man need good winter cloths. Fingers freeze easily when photographing. Therefore, I use gloves and mittens. Happily, there is very near library, where You can go to warm up. The coldest weather in which I have been was January 10, 1987, -34 Centigrade. It was cold and felt also.
Have a good day!

Hello! Winter cycling is natural in Finland? It is safe to have a long distance road that have been maintained. No roads are maintained for bicycles in Japan so nobody rides a bicycle if it snows in Japan. Have a good day!
Comment by wakasahs15th — February 12, 2019 @ 15:41 |

Winter cycling is natural and popular. Oulu is the best winter biking town, also elsewhere in Finland people bikes in winter Helsinki including. Thank You commenting so nicely.

Matti, very nteresting post. It seems not many people cycle in snow in the US. It’s more a recreational sport and not cycling to get to work, or shop for food & necessities. 📚🎶 Christine

I would have to practise on a bike for a while before I was brave enough to try cycling in the snow. It looks like fun though.

Hello Carol.
Thank You. When I was school boy, I had to bike to school, was it winter or not-8 kilometers / 5 miles. Always it was not fun because it was a heavy to pedal because it was frozen.
Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 13, 2019 @ 08:51 |
I think with proper tires it is quite alright. There are some lovely ladies bikes around. Mine would fit in nicely! Also you must wrap up really warm, I can imagine…. 5 layers and thermals for me! 🙂
Comment by utesmile — February 12, 2019 @ 22:50 |

Warm and wind stopping cloths are useful. Of course, You can imagine if we know to make them. 🙂 Thank You for You kind comment.

Hello (^^)
Where there are winter tires for bicycles popular there. In the area where I live there is a person who cyclists with summer tire specifications and it is dangerous.
Have a good day!
Comment by saganhama — February 13, 2019 @ 02:01 |
Hello Saganhama.
One person, who shows example – that is great. It is natural that in “warm” parts, people do not bike in winter. Here in my country there is a difference of people living in south or more in the north. In the north people living, are more hardener than those living in the south, I think. 🙂 Thank You.

I am glad that You took a look at my winter photos and left Your comment. Oulu is fantastic town in Finland, although many people do not notice it when travelling to the north. Few stop in Oulu. Sigh.

Hello Heide.
Oulu is one of my favorite town in Finland. It offers winter fun for children and for adults. The main winter happening is reindeer race, in which everyone can participate and it is free!
If You have seen any of my posts about it, then:
Reindeer race
Reindeer race 2
Next race is on this week on Saturday. We will visit it. Thank You for Your kind comment.
Have a wonderful day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 14, 2019 @ 08:12 |
How exciting that the next race is coming up! Remember to bring hand-warmers and an extra battery (as we’ve discussed in our previous comments). 🙂 Can’t wait to see your photos.
Comment by Heide — February 15, 2019 @ 00:06 |
Hello Heide.
It is Saturday morning and we are now in a well-equipped cottage in Oulu at camping site of Nallikari. We will spend here ten days. Driving from Helsinki took 8 hour and 50 minutes. The road conditions were terrible! Today seems to be good to walk to the reindeer carnivals.
My posts will be from 2018. This means that photos which I today will shoot, I will present them next year. This is valid also my newt post which shows winter village for children, free reindeer rides for all families and free reindeer races for everybody. Last year was exception, because then I showed photos of world’s biggest snow castle from 2017 & 2018.
Snow Castle 2017&2018
The Lady in red is my wife and me in black is me in this post.

I’m glad to hear you made it safely in spite of the difficult driving conditions! And thank you for clarifying about the photos — I will wait patiently until you post them, then. In the meantime, what a treat it was to see your ice castle photos. Thank you so much for the link; you’ve absolutely blown my mind!

Wow such beautiful photos! I used to cycle to school when I lived in Kokkola too. Here in Poland almost nobody cycles in snow, it’s mostly a summer/spring thing. I love the fact that nature is so omnipresent in Finland, and those colorful Nordic houses are so pleasant to look at ❤ Thanks for this lovely post that evoked memories! 🙂

What stunning photos, I love those blue skies against the white snow.
What a great idea, I didn’t even know one could get winter tires for bicycles.
Comment by Tokeloshe — February 20, 2019 @ 00:11 |
The best winter tires come from Finland, of course. Suomi brand (formerly Nokian) makes a variety of studded tires work that great on ice or hard packed snow.
Fat tires (I’m told) work well on soft and deep snow.
Comment by halffastcyclingclub — February 20, 2019 @ 01:20 |
That is interesting, although I’m not a cycler, I do not notice Calgarians cycling in winter as much as they do in summer. We are fortunate to have a great network of trails.

It’s great that so many people ride their bikes even in the winter. Interestingly, some of the tires don’t look sturdy enough, but I assume they still have a thick tread.

Oulu es la mejor ciudad de ciclismo de invierno de Finlandia. Claro que si, del ciclismo de verano también. Cuando es posible ir en bicicleta al trabajo o al comercio, es una acción climática. Muchas gracias.
Abrazos y buen fin de semana! Matti

It is good to see so many people cycling. I think the longer the winter is and especially in cold climates, you will see more bicyclists out there all year round.trust you and your wife are well.

Hello Velo du Jour.
Oh, I see. My country offers such experiences which are unique or less known abroad. Did You know that first Lady Eleanor Roosevelt had a log house in Finland! If You do not mind, I show it. It is part of my post in which where I show reindeer rides and meeting Santa:
Reindeer rides and Santa
Reindeer rides are very popular and we have even reindeer races which are open for everybody and they are free! Could you imagine that you are sitting alone in the sled and rein the reindeer, which runs fast? Thank You leaving Your praising comment.
Have a good day!
