Before You Leave Home: Bike Route Planning...


Helsinki has a pretty nice web site for planning bus and subway travel... turns out that it has a link for bike route planning too! Amazingly good! I plotted a route from the airport to my student housing... I'm planning to take the Bike Friday and have always loved the idea of arriving in an airport, unpacking the bike, and riding off to wherever I wanted to go. Do I dare do this? It is only 17 km. The satellite version of the map looks really good; you can see the bike path down there...
but it will require some very careful packing to make sure I can get everything I take into the trailer.
