In addition to the 2 cm threshold, 4 cm accumulation of snow must never be reached, not even for a second, on the main network. The rest of the ~1000 km network of bicycle & foot paths in the city are naturally maintained at top priority as well 👌
Our next Masterclass is scheduled for 8-11 February 2026. There are still places left, so head on to www.masterclass.city and secure your spot 🤗

Just a reminder that on the bike & footh paths here in Oulu 🇫🇮, 2 cm of new snowfall must always be gone within 3 hours, on entire 166 km main 🚲🚶 network, 24/7. Maintenance needs to be fast, reliable & efficient, so that people can rely on it 👌 Join our Urbanism Masterclasses to learn more! 🤗

I'm often asked what do I wear on the cooler days when cycling. The correct answer is of course what ever the heck you want, as long as it makes you go outside. But I also personally like to keep it as simple as possible. Go outside and enjoy! 😊

"**Colder days are here, and with them the topic of winter cycling once again. At our Cyklomestá conference in Trnava this year, Pekka Tahkola from the Finnish city of Oulu spoke about how it is possible even in a much colder climate. ❄️

Trnavský Hlas has published a nice article about it.**"

It's been a really warm winter here so far, frighteningly warm. Today, however, there was at least a hint of winter in the air when we reached –14°C. Absolutely nothing remarkable yet, but perhaps the tiniest trace of eyelash weather noticeable. I miss proper winters so much 🥰🥺
