Helsinki Bicycle Couriers, Winter 2011

You will love these: SKS Raceblade Long

The rainy season is here already, and these look just fabulous. Standard short Raceblades are IMHO the best snap-on fenders by far so I have high very hopes for these. And for the record, I've tried Crud Roadracers but really couldn't get them installed satisfactorily on any of my bikes despite hard efforts.

Seen at Eurobike, read and see more here.

Hyötypyörä Delivers!

Olli @hyötypyörä keeping it real on dem icy Hellsinki streetz!

Wool Ride 2011 // Helsinki Sat 5th Feb

Snow. Record-breaking 71cm this morning.

Yeah, we got some, all fluffy and lovely. I nailed some mad nice powder lines last night on my MTB around the neighborhood. No need for a snowboard or skiis around here.

Fiksi antaa kiksit. Talvellakin.

Thnaks to Kyttyrä for the scan.

Go Paavo!

Bit more about Paavo's new business here.

From North & South

Two simple riding videos from Finland, above from Oulu in the north (kinda...), below from Helsinki in the south. Both act as of reminders that winter is coming soon, as if anyone needed that...

Ice Age Oulu 2010 // 3.4.2010 Oulu, Finland

More Crit-type racing, this in the grim, dark & freezing north!

Ice Age 2010 Criterium Race // HELLsinki 24.3.2010

Tomorrow.
It will be Dark. Icy Cold. Slippery. Freezing Wet. Dangerous. Stupid. Fixed Only. Fun.

And yes, it was probably inspired by the Red Hook Criterium but it will be different because it's still winter up in here...

Helsinki Winter Commute

Some cycling here in snowy Helsinki. These guys are in fact the very people behind KRNKY Cycling Clothing & Accessories. So now you know.

EDIT.

Correction. I was wrong. Again. The sountrack is NOT is by Itäväylä, one DJ Pertzza AKA Randy Barraduca's numerous projects. Instead it's by Aavikko. Anyhow, I think it should have been by Itäväylä. Ha!
