• Really warm today on my bike commuting, +30°C, but shoutout to @enduraofficial. From brutally cold Alaska winter to summer heat of Finland, I'm grateful to wear their kit. These hot days are so enjoyable with Pro SL bibtights + helmet and FS260-Pro short sleeve jersey + mitts. And yes, that is @ritcheylogic VentureMax handlebars, for the forthcoming n+1 bike, peeking out of the @evocsports Mission Pro backpack (there's plenty of other stuff too).

  • The heat is on here in Finland. +28,2°C was measured in Turku today, but I think that is just warm. +33,5°C was the highest temperature today in Niinisalo and that's more like hot. So here is one photo to cool us down, from @itialaska 2020. I was recovered enough in McGrath after I was hit with chest and eye infection. It was -25°C when I started to ride towards Takotna and oh yes, I was indeed riding and not pushing my bike and it was pure winter paradise as you can see! The trail was in excellent shape and the sun was shining. I rode all the way to Ophir but when I was getting near Ophir it was night and the temperature dropped to -40°C and that is the coldest temperature I have experienced so far. And yeah, that was pretty damn cold! I was tired but happy when I got to Ophir. I was back in the game after illness!

  • After too long break from longer rides (due to busy work schedule and commuting) I had a bit of mission today. I was going to ride the whole Kimitoön Gravel Paradise ~180 km route with my friend Teemu S. It was a gorgeous summer day with lots of sunshine and 25°C temps. But I had awful lot of punctures and we ran out of inner tubes after fast patches failed too and mission was aborted at 137 km. @wildernesstrailbikes Byway 700x40 is fast tire for commuting and better gravel roads but I suspect that the remote and coarse stretches in Kimito Island were too much. Still a great day on the saddle! More photos in my Stories.

  • Bicycles are my profession but they are also my passion. They have always been and they always will be. This bike is my old cyclocross bike and commuter, @ridley_bikes Crossbow from 2003, after I removed some parts for Kona Dew Adventure project. I've had a plan for a long time for this bike and I started it last year but put it on hold because of ITI. In the coming weeks I will finally complete it and I'm beyond excited because it will be something different and exciting! But what will it be? . . . #bicycles #bikes #gravelbike #gravelbikes #cyclocrossbike #cycling #bicyclepassion #passion #bikemechanic #bicycleculture #cyclingculture #commuterbike #commutingbike #humanpowered #humanpoweredvehicle

  • I can see some beautiful things on my commuting routes. This old bridge is not exactly on my route but it's on the side of it and I see it pretty much every workday, if I'm not riding on some other, alternative route. I took this photo on Wednesday and I think this bridge deserves more photos in different light and daytime.
