Why.
As soon as I arrived in Finland last July I could see that this was a great cycling country. Geologically glaciers have planed and squished it mostly flat but also left it with amazing countryside full of lakes and forests. On top of that (literally) is a beautiful network of well kept roads and, in the cities, cyclepaths. Having cycled all my life, one of the first priorities upon landing here was to get a bike. After a bit of shopping around, Girlf. and I bought a pair of fairly decent crossbikes and from the comfort of our kitchen began to plan epic adventures cycling all around the Baltic and up to Lapland ,camping wild and swimming beneath the stars. Then it snowed.
