Bicycle Traffic Planner for the City of Tampere, Finland. Bikeshare and bicycle parking are always on my mind.
Here's a little taste of what's coming. At Hervannan valtaväylä, there is a 3 meters wide two-way cycle path separated from walking and the footpath is also almost 3 m wide. This project is in the next year's draft budget. #tampere #cycling #pyöräily

Yeah it's great they make these innovations and I know it's a commercial and there has to be drama, but I can't help myself thinking all over again that the truck driver should anticipate what's coming as he is coming from behind and sees the cyclists before taking a turn 🙈

And a shout-out to our capital city Helsinki for ranking 6th. The place at the podium is close, truly hoping they make it some year. They set the example for other cities in Finland.

We'll continue next year April 15. The current users clearly like the bikeshare scheme, but the usage could be a lot higher. We try to attract new users and boost usage, and for that we have some very exciting ideas in our pocket, but more of that later. 😏 #Tampere #cycling #bikeshare #pyöräily

And thanks to the state money granted by @traficomfinland.bsky.social we were able to build park and ride for bikes at bus stops. Those things usually cost quite a lot but now we got them with a hefty discount, in a way.

En tekisi noin, vaikka tarkoitusperät voi olla hyvät. Liikkumisympäristön ennakoitavuus ja muiden liikkujien toiminnan ennustettavuus on olennaista - tällainen ratkaisu on liian poikkeuksellinen. Pitäisi tyytyä siihen, että konfliktipiste/puoltenvaihto tulee johonkin, ja tehdä se sitten laadulla.

Oulussa alikulkuja on pantu uuteen uskoon ja @harrivaarala.bsky.social jotain matskua someen tuutannut vuosien varrella. Olis kiva kuulla Harrin näkemys alikuluista, hyvä vai paha?

ne pitäis tehdä paljon laadukkaammin huomioiden pituuskaltevuudet, leveydet, valaistukset jne. Suomessa alikulut tuntuu monesti olevan mallia "mutka pimeyteen ja ylämäki". En tiedä aiheesta kovin paljoa, kun ei ole tullut oltua tekemisissä alikulkujen suunnittelun kanssa mutta jotenkin noin.

Kai se kantava ajatus menee jotenkin niin, että tasapainoisen liikennejärjestelmän kannalta autoliikennettä on priorisoitava jossain, ja näin syntyy alikulkuja. Alikulutkin voi olla kävelylle ja pyöräilylle hyviä, kun ne poistaa kohtaamisen autojen kanssa, mutta...

If someone wants to prove me otherwise, I will gladly hear you! Coz the change would be ridiculously big and I'm still a bit afraid of suggesting it to anyone 🫣

Lately I've been digging more on this subject, and I'm even more convinced about the need of denser station network. Like, super dense in certain areas. I't seems that dense station network is way more important than reliability of bike availability. Just have to balance the equation. #bikeshare

Survey is still open for few days!

All stations visited! 51 km today for 33 stations, it hurts 😅 What's the next stupid bikeshare challenge to try? Riding Mooseksenmäki without getting out of the saddle or riding Lake Pyhäjärvi route under 2 hours? Maybe, but now I challenge myself to have a beer or two #Tampere #cycling #bikeshare

+4 stations today! It's not much, but it's honest work ✌️🚲 #Tampere #cycling #bikeshare
