Fat Bike Forest Ride

Now also available during summer season!

Have you dreamed of hopping on bike for an adventure through a Nordic forest? How about leaving the known path behind and just jumping for a real off road biking experience?!

Now you can do it with us, every Thursday & Saturday starting at 10.30 am with a pick up from Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art (bus stop) to the Nuuksio National Park in Espoo!

After the tour you will also be transported back to the city center.

Alternatively you can take similar private tour at Vuosaari area in the Eastern Helsinki that has direct subway connection from the center of Helsinki.

Helsinki is full of nature and a great way to explore it is by riding a Fat Bike – a robust mountain bike equipped with multiple gears and fatter tires than normally. The bikes are easy and fun to ride on all types of soil: sand, concrete, grass, mud, even snow and ice. Join us on an unforgettable bike ride!

We ride on dirt roads and small tracks through forests and along the coast of the Gulf of Finland (Vuosaari). The bikes work well also in the winter, so it is not dependent on weather. Snowy and icy conditions make the ride a bit more demanding, but just as fun.

The bikes are 18-speed and have hand brakes. For this tour we recommend previous biking experience and an adventurous spirit!
