A Ride Around Finland

Friday August 2, 2019, Biked 123 km. Warm and partly cloudy all day. Whoa, you probably thought this blog was just about my ride across the US. Well it is focused on that but this ride in Finland was very cool and was an interesting one to compare to my ride across the US, so I decided to make it one of my epilogue blog posts. TLDR: Finland has much better bicycling and transit facilities than any of the cities I visited in the US. On my walk from my hotel to the bike shop where I had a rental bike waiting, the sidewalks were designed for bicyclists and pedestrians.  The had little channels carved in them so the rain gutter water could tidily run into the street. I picked up a beautiful light carbon fiber road bike from Bicyclean Helsinki -- a wonderful and highly recommended bicycle rental shop in Helsinki. Super friendly staff and great bicycles from city bikes to performance mountain and road bikes. Off on the road it was a beautiful day with sun shining o...

Wednesday May 29, Biked 7 miles. Total mileage by end of day: 5004.  Cool and cloudy. Ok, now I'm finally wrapping up my last daily SOS ride post well after I finished my ride and I'm doing it from Finland. Right after my ride I was very busy attending my 35th college reunion then moving my son from UCLA to our house and then to Finland, which is why this post is happening from Helsinki. Tuesday May 28 was going to be my final presentation and final day of riding but as I mentioned in "yesterday's" post, I met a mom along the Minute Man bikeway who really wanted me to talk at her elementary school. When opportunity knocks, who am I to say no? So I said yes and she contacted her principal to set it up. When I started the ride I had about 50 talks set up in advance and it was a ton of work. Most of my talks (204 of them) happened as this one did. After chatting with locals, they invite me over or set something up on the fly :-) On my way to the school, my ...

Day 81 - Long Branch NJ to Brooklyn NY

Monday May 13, Biked 53 miles. Total mileage by end of day: 4418.  Windy, cold, and light to moderate rain all day. Not much traffic down this coastal highway early in the morning. Pretty high surf like yesterday. Very strong side winds but not as strong as yesterday's. There are many coastal mansions in Monmouth, NJ. All these sea wall stairs are marked as private, no trespassing. In NJ it looks like beaches and coastline can be owned privately unlike CA where all beaches & coastlines must allow public access. A few pretty blooms but probably not native. A view of the beach. My bike on a bike/ped overpass. Soon after my route went down the Henry Hudson Bike Trail. It was wonderful! Although I had to squeeze by some rangers and closed section where a tree had broken and was going to fall sooner or later. Got my ferry ticket. Ernie and Bruce, two of the workers there were very excited about...
