We were invited for test ride with development version of bike with @Tinkerlmatz in late January in lovely -16°C weather, taking turns in the saddle & passenger department 🤗 2/x
Our initial impressions after the test ride were that it feels really strong & well made with stability & durability and easy & effective maintenance in mind. Smaller but wider wheels & longer wheelbase help w/ low center of gravity & stability especially with precious cargo. 3/x
For example, the #KiddieBus version is designed especially with daycare and pre-schools in mind, as it can carry eight children. 4/x
The Space version is designed for city deliveries, parcels, food etc with its up to 870 liter capacity in the lockable cargo bay.
Ouca Bikes is the same company that's behind the lovely #MuksuBussi kiddiebus cargo bikes. Now they've gone a huge leap forward & developed their completely own model from a scratch. I'm so happy to see this kind of sustainable #BicycleIndustry develop further here in #Oulu 🥰6/x
Photos from oucabikes.com, my camera and Muksubussi FB page. Go check them out, while I'm looking forward to hosting a #livestream with the new cargo bike and of course the guys behind Ouca really soon! 🤗 7/7

Mutta näissä laskureiden datassa on jotain pientä häikkää. Yleensä erot ovat aika pieniä, mutta tämän laskurin kohdalla jokin mättää. Saataisko me tämä nyt lopulta selville @harrivaarala?
Niinkuin tuosta aloituskuvasta näkee, klo 22 tässä on ollut datan mukaan 1696 pyöräilijää. Mutta klo 22:06 ko. laskurin näyttö näytti 1849 🚲. Tuossa ei mitenkään ole voinut kulkea 6 minuutissa yli 150 pyöräilijää.
A better thread of #wintermaintenance of #Oulu 🇫🇮 main #bicycle routes: General info, quality requirements, control & implementation. Oulu shows you can maintain your #cycling infra round the year even in extreme conditions. Where there’s will, there’s a bike path! 1/x
It’s a bit unusual joint contract with two municipalities @oulunkaupunki & @KempeleenKunta and state road adminstration @POPELYkeskus. Due to joint contract, the area borders will show no quality variations or other visible deviations. #MeanwhileinOulu 2/x
This contract consists of 125 km of most important regional routes. Many of them are connections to/from #Oulu city center, but there are also important ring routes and areal paths. The total amount of bike paths in #Oulu region is over 1000 km, naturally maintained as well. 3/x
