What is your idea? Leave a comment!
Hei,
got by this page by chance!
Great idea. Maybe you could get publicity by organising HUB Helsinki tours every week, you know what I mean = ‘yhteislenkki’.
I read from a Swedish bike magazine that in Norway a cross country tour participation was filled in 60 seconds, there were 13000 participants.
Also Vätternrundan is already “sold out”, last year you could still register in January.
So cycling is really really popular in other Nordic countries!
Cycling is fun! Of course there are other reasons to cycle, but if it is not fun, then I don’t think anyone will bother to do it long term.
Helsiki HUB really would help in making cycling fun!

Hiljasta – kertaRojekti?
Moi, HUB:n kanssa fillariyhteistyö jäi Fillarikonsulttien osalta konseptoinnin tasolle, mutta pyöräilyn huomioiminen tulevaisuudessa jäi varmasti HUBissa aktiivisesti mieleen. Jos olisit kiinnostunut tekemään jotain pyöräilyproggiksia HUB:n ja fillarikonsulttien kanssa, ota ihmeessä yhteyttä inari@fillarikonsultit.net. Aktiivisimmin fillarikonsultit ovat nyt mukana fillariblogi Cycleinhel:ssä: http://www.cycleinhel.fi.
