The organisers of the Megapolis 2025 Festival arranged for a bit of a bike meet and Cycle Chic photo session on Friday evening. A brilliant bunch of people showed up.
You have taken some beautiful pictures on your trip, and I really hope Helsinki was a cycling city like Copenhagen. The sad fact is that the cycling infrastructure in Helsinki is poor, and the cyclists you are most likely to meet are the ones wearing cycling gear from tip to toe, doing their daily exercise called "työmatkapyöräily".

So what is the problem with that? The skandinavian-style standards are not met? If you cycle from the outer skirts of the city to work, say 30-50km per day you might want to wear a cycling gear too to make the trip comfortably in any kind of weather. Thumbs up to työmatkapyöräilijät, as they probably are the core of 6% of cycling in Helsinki.
Great shot!
