Hellsinki Super Weekend

Last weekend was many ways successful in Hellsinki. There was famous Flow-festival and 9th King Of Fixed, the fixed gear riders fun and play days. During this three days there was a number of great performers in Flow and several interesting activities in KOF. Criterium-race, alleycat-race, trackstand, footdown etc. awesome s**t.

In Flow festival there was at least 3000 bicycles parked in special parking area where talented mechanics offered their services too.

Surprise events are always great fun too, BikePunksHellsinki held their tall bike jousting tournament in Dallape park. Hellsinki is getting better.

Bike parking

During Flow festival there was a quite impressive bicycle parking area in Helsinki. They should move the Helsinki railway station next to this area because this kind of sights are so common near railway stations in cities like Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Gent and Malmö. Some estimations are made that 10.000 bicycles equals the space taken by 480 cars.
