Espoon liikennemerkeistä – Itäranta

Espoon Itäranta on erittäin suosittu alue pyöräilijöiden keskuudessa. Pyöräillä voi Otsolahden ympäri ja Itärantaa pitkin Tapiolantieltä Länsiväylälle. Muutama vuosi taaksepäin, kun Kehä yhden tunnelointi Keilaniemessä oli käynnissä, oli Kehä yhden kevyt liikenne vuosien ajan reititetty Länsiväylältä esim. Tapiolantielle Itärannan kautta. Olisi toivottavaa, että liikennemerkkien ja esim. katumerkintöjen avulla pyöräily olisi selkeää ja helppoa tällä alueella.Continue reading “Espoon liikennemerkeistä – Itäranta”

Stockholm-Kungsholmen running routes

Kungsholmen is a very developed island and for a runner that means traffic lights and stops. For an uninterrupted run, the easiest selection is the about 10k trip around the island. The route has a flat section but some hillier sections in Fredhäll. For a shorter and almost flat route, you can modify the routeContinue reading “Stockholm-Kungsholmen running routes”

The bridges of Hammarby Sjöstad and Sickla

This blog post is part of the running all bridges of Stockholm-project. Hammarby Sjöstad is a newer residential district in Stockholm.

Sickla in turn is not part of Stockholm innerstad, so it’s not part of my original planContinue reading “The bridges of Hammarby Sjöstad and Sickla”

The bridges of Gamla Stan and Riddarholmen

This blog post is part of the running all bridges of Stockholm-project. Gamla Stan If you know anything about Stockholm, you’ll know Gamla Stan.

It’sContinue reading “The bridges of Gamla Stan and Riddarholmen”
