Kaisantunneli POV Bike Ride || Here in Helsinki

Take a ride through the new Kaisantunneli tunnel under the Helsinki Central Station's platforms! Kaisantunneli shortens the distance between Baana and Kaisaniemi Park by 600 meters, eliminating the need to ride through the congested station plaza with four sets of traffic lights and heavy traffic.
The 8 m wide tunnel is expected to see some 10 000 daily riders during peak days. The bike lane is 4 metres wide, and the pedestrian lane 3.5 metres wide. 
The "Pyörätalli" bicycle garage connected to the tunnel will open in the early summer.

I cycle through this new beauty every day! It's like my commute now goes through a portal that makes it shorter ❤

[@davidhammarsten8167]

this is a dream

[@jurian89]

Well done! Love the familiar pink colour for the bike lanes. The whole world should adopt that (Dutch?) standard!

[@hereinhelsinki]

Yes! Red asphalt is increasingly used in Helsinki, but mostly on the "baana" network.

​@@hereinhelsinkiit's used here in Oulu too!

This is a very cool project, thanks for the video!
I just recently talked about it in one of my videos.

[@hereinhelsinki]

Great! This connection really should have been built years ago.

[@roosaemergencyspotter]

I'm definitely going to travel from Turku to Helsinki just to see this tunnel! ❤😍🔥 The surroundings of the bike lane at Oodi could use more greenery and trees though!

America could never 😭😭

...and immediately we meet the red-bearded daddy with his cago bike.

Cool video. Which camera do you use?

[@hereinhelsinki]

Thanks! :) GoPro HERO 10 Black (I should invest in windproofing though)

@@hereinhelsinki Yeah sound quality is an issue for me too! currently using the dji action 2, but I think of upgrading in a few months.
