Oulu is a beautiful city for cycling. Its cycleway network,
the most extensive in Finland, covers the entire city and
neighbouring municipalities.
Oulu residents are avid cyclists, and some cycle
throughout the year. Winter cycling in extreme temperatures
is what makes you an Oulu resident. As much as 20 percent of
all trips in Oulu are made by bicycle, while the
corresponding figure for the rest of the country is about
11. This goes to show that Oulu residents really do like to
cycle.
Rollerskaters, Nordic walkers and joggers also use the
cycleways regularly.
