I usually choose the path that Google maps or Komoot recommend. The problem is that these apps are not aware of which path is nicer and often give bad directions for cyclists. I have been searching for alternative apps that give more appropriate cycling directions, but have so far been unable to. Maybe the HSL app should have a dedicated cycling directions feature with the cycle paths reccomended by the city planners. Otherwise I might never find these nice cycle paths.

Very, very nice design! Remove those ugly ghetto tags from the tunnels and it would be 10/10

Urbanistic haven

Kyllä kaupunki on satsannut maisemointiin,niin kaunista jo nyt. Mitä se onkaan vuosien päästä,tuota reittiä ajelee ihan huvikseen ja niin nopeakin niille joille aikataulut on tärkeät. Kiitos Hgin kaupunki❤

ei tälle linjalle varmaan muita kun articeja tule

Mikä idea tällaisessa? Satunnaisessa järjestyksessä videopätkiä siitä, kun raitiovaunu menee ohi. Miksi ei näytetä reittiä järjestyksessä alusta loppuun?

To be honest, I really dislike the part at Hermannin Rantatie, long wide stretch of conrete with very little shadow. A pain especially when biking/walking on hot sunny days. But I guess there are some nice parts, too, along the track.

Very nice scenery Thank you

niillä on satulat ihan päin persettä

Where's the actual city? Wasteland every other block do not a city make. 08:25 Look at that wasted space. You could have a 1000 people living there.

so many parking infractions in this short video, imagine being arrogant enough to see a bike lane separated with bollards and choosing to park there anyway

Paint is a good start but not enough. There should at least be a clear separation between car lanes and bike lanes, for example by using poles (as shown at 1:20) or a clear border. Cars parked next to bike lanes also can cause dangerous situations. The situation at 2:30 looks ridiculous, to be honest. This zigzagging makes it confusing and unsafe. Cars shouldn't be allowed to block bike lanes either, which happened on several places in this video. I know we Dutchies are spoiled with our infrastructure, but it's far from perfect here either. Helsinki seems to be making progress, but it needs to do more to take it to a higher level. Helsinki has a lot of potential: there is space, it's relatively flat, it's rather compact, it's quiet, many roads are quiet.

3:32 WHY IS THERE TWO LANES FOR CARS!?!?!?!?

I can only imagine how beautiful and just great that street could be, is there wasn't cars... The restaurants' patios could be extended more to the street, more greenery. And also just more space to people walking and cycling. Then I'd LOVE to cycle on this street!

Looks like not :)

This is Solarpunk af... Thanks for not using any music in the video, it's so calming😊

Wow, so cozy!

A wonderful harmony between manmade and natural

surprisingly nice landscaping, need stuff like that everywhere

This is utterly amazing, yes 👏

I watch quite a lot of youtube during my days. And I have to say this is the highlight of the week. Sounds.. I didn't know a video about traffic could sound this fantastic. The breeze, even talking in the background, birdsong, clicking of bike gears. The tramway itself looks like a piece of art, with your cinematography it's been captured in its fullest. Thank you, so so very much. This is wholeheartedly fantastic.

Doesn't overtaking cars defeat the whole purpose? Every street would work like this if bikers decided to occupy the space one day.

0:54 that pedestrian crossing sign is in a quite hazardous place in the middle of the street. It was put there so that it won't block the traffic light. But why does it need to be on the bike path? Why not on the side of the car lane? There are three lanes for cars here versus one for bikes.

I wish we had tram here in Oulu.

I usually come back a different way, so I would ride both 😊 But this new cycling infrastructure with the tunnel is impressive.

I was at The Tall Ships Races in 2013 in Szczecin, PL. It was crowded and there were a lot of ships. Thanks for sharing 💙

Great. I also see nice greenery with flowers and a wide bike path. By the way, in my city in Poznań, Poland, trams are also yellow-green. The green used to resemble peas, but for a few years now the green has been darker and the color is metallic 💚

Jee!!!!

Niin kaunista ja rauhallista. ❤️😍 Helsinki alkaa todella ymmärtää miten ihmisille suunnattua kaupunkiympäristöä rakennetaan. Juuri näin houkutellaan paljon uusia arkipyöräilijöitä! 🙌

This is very close to the ugliest park in the World (Töölönlahden puisto). Basically just a muddy, barren field in the middle of the city where you have pretty much the highest land value. Finland doesn't really have any cities. Everything is separated from absolutely everything else. Commie blocks separated by trees, trees and more ugly trees and different neighbourhoods have to be separated from each other as well, of course.

That's a really nice bike path.. I wish they would do that in my town in the usa.

I'm not sure what to feel like here from a biking perspective. It's not very good? It works but only thanks to people riding the opposite direction as it looks difficult to cross the street on a bike. On a more positive note. Great video! They're always a blast to watch. :)

Merci beaucoup, comme d'habitude j'apprécie beaucoup vos vidéos. 👍

Looks quite neat, I must say. Based on the bike/electric scooter traffic volume, the bike lanes seem a bit narrow at some points, especially near the bridge. Also a missed opportunity to give bike paths a distinct color, like the red asphalt used in The Netherlands or the blue ones used in Denmark. The crossing in the beginning could use a bike/pedestrian tunnel or bridge, to make the traffic flow better for everyone. It's also better for safety reasons. Anyhow, keep up the good work Helsinki!

If there were no private cars, cities would be more quiet and peaceful. A nice wide bike path. Thanks for posting 🙂🌅🌻

What a relaxing video. I enjoyed it over a nice cup of coffee ☕️

What a brilliant idea to put a bicycle/pedestrian tunnel there!

I'm definitely going to travel from Turku to Helsinki just to see this tunnel! ❤😍🔥 The surroundings of the bike lane at Oodi could use more greenery and trees though!

Żabciaście 🐸💚🌻🚲

I cycle through this new beauty every day! It's like my commute now goes through a portal that makes it shorter ❤

this is a dream

Cool

...and immediately we meet the red-bearded daddy with his cargo bike.

America could never 😭😭

Excellent video! I could just and just find myself from the video.

Well done! Love the familiar pink colour for the bike lanes. The whole world should adopt that (Dutch?) standard!

Cool video. Which camera do you use?

This is a very cool project, thanks for the video! I just recently talked about it in one of my videos.
