HELSINKI FIXED (tourist info in English)

yep! come to velodrome somewhere round 10am and I’m pretty sure you’ll find persons from this forum riding there.

Thread “velolle” is place where you can find information about velodrome but it’s in finnish :confused:

You’ll need a helmet to ride at the velodrome.

If you are looking for something else northern than Helsinki, why not come to Oulu. We have very few busses, no tram rails, one of the best cycle path networks in Finland and here people don’t mind you cycling on the footpaths either.

Bicycle Shops:
Special Bike (Facebook), fixed gears, bmx’s etc
Pyörä Suvala (web), large local retailer with two stores and bike rental

Bike rental:
Nallikari Camping (web) bike rental 8e/day

We have occasional alleycat races, we play polo and drink beer. If you need any more information, just give us a shout in the Oulu thread.

Survival map of Oulu for students helps you around.

In addition to the traditional Wednesday gathering in Helsinki, in July and August we will have the Väiski rink reserved for polo purposes every Monday from 6pm to 8pm. Everyone is welcome!

Hey guys !
For those who don’t know me I’ve already made an introduction topic.

I’ll be staying here for 1year and I would like to have the upcommings events detail in English on this thread please !

Thank you !

Jason

Important thing to remember: don’t come to Helsinki to make friends.

^Why’s that?

Lone wolf NYC - 21:39, 18.7.2013 » This may come off a bit rude but i really dont care much cause i did not come to helsinki to make friends. some of you may have seen me cycling through Helsinki from time to time and may not like how or where i choose to ride my bike. to straight and to the point i dont give a shit what anyone thinks of me or how and where i ride. but what i find really crazy is that someone out there has the time and energy to write emails or make phone calls to my finish cousin all the way in athens to talk about me. if you see me on a sidewalk cycling mind your own fucking buisness and stay out of mine.. OR you can call the police and have them issue me a ticket. i thought for a while it would be cool to roll this city with a nice group of people but after hearing about this person TELLING ON ME as if we were 6 years old i will stick to rolling alone. stay the fuck out of my biz. sid

  1. “First and last post” ↩︎

This is important because?

jäbät hei

mitä kylvät, sitä niität…

I don’t get it.

Lone wolf → doesn’t want to make friends

Non-finnish speaking people posting into this thread → do want to make friends

I don’t see the connection or even more the necessity to link this lone wolf stuff into this thread. I know it’s serving some people as an insider joke, so thanks for that… i guess. However, I hope that you all non-finnish speaking people do try to join our activities because you are more than welcome. We on our behalf try to inform you better on what’s happening. So what were the next sure things to happen?

27.11. NewGen alleycat (more info later)

7.12. 5pm Yksivaihde.net Christmas Party @ Huilaamo, Suvilahti
- FB-event

Let’s not underestimate foreigners here, there’s internet and internet forums outside of Finland as well. The joke is older than that.

For those raised in the woods, here’s the context:

Even if someone doesn’t recognize it as a joke, one comment by one guy posting on a forum doesn’t define the scene.

Oh and the next VPCX cyclocross event is on 10.11. in Herttoniemi starting at 12 noon.
