    @grammasaurus We&#39;re not fans either. And our ice here is of the only good type. So, WTF - Welcome to Finland 🤗

    @grammasaurus 42 years have passed now since 1984. So do we have the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and icy bike paths now? 🤔

    @grammasaurus May I ask which planet are you on? 😅 😊

    @k Yup. Makes it possible for so many more people. Not to even mention for those who have challenges in their mobility 🙏

    My short interview with Yle News. Just doing my small part to prove that for us, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just good infrastructure and excellent maintenance 👌 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HCBM2R7WCHA #Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu

    We also have dedicated weather stations and cameras for 🚲🚶 traffic only as well, and it&amp;#39;s sometimes nice to look at the cameras, although they only snap one photo every five minutes. It&amp;#39;s been snowing for some hours now again, and the 24/7 maintenance works great. This photo was snapped right now at 01:30 am, and that path has already been plowed twice today. #Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu

    &amp;quot;Oulu winter maintenance 💙 Without the city&amp;#39;s investment in winter maintenance of cycle paths, the undersigned would not be able to cycle today either.&amp;quot;

    ‪It is rather beautiful here in Oulu 🇫🇮, right now. Absolutely no filters needed at all 🤌 -20°C, wind chill -28°C. This is one of our main cycling and walking routes (#8) and here we have a 5 km stretch with ZERO at-grade crossings with motor traffic. I repeat, it&#39;s physically impossible to meet any motor traffic here. So it is very peaceful, safe and comfortable to ride and walk completely uninterrupted. Just bliss. #Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu
