Meet the bike-loving Finnish city that keeps pedalling even in the snow

In a city blanketed by snow for five months each year, you wouldn t blame cyclists for putting their bikes into hibernation during the winter. But the people of Oulu, Finland, are made of stronger stuff. Despite the long, dark, and snow-filled winters, locals keep pedalling their way to and from work and school. Around one-in-five of all trips made in Oulu are by bike, a figure that falls to 12% in the winter. By comparison, in London, around 2% of all trips are made by bicycle. In the Dutch cities of Utrecht and Amsterdam half of all journeys are on a bike, against a third in Copenhagen. Further south in the capital Helsinki cycling, on average, represents 9% of trips.
