Today we had +20 °C. I commuted by bicycle, and it was great. In the morning it took about 42 minutes to get to work, a new record by bicycle. Return home took about 47 minutes.
A year ago I wrote about the commute time: "... morning commute took 49 minutes, and the return 54 minutes, 5-10 minutes faster than last week."
It seems that I'm now 5-7 minutes faster than year ago, not bad, especially as it felt today that traffic lights changed to red as I was nearing them.
Of course, getting another type of bicycle would help with the commute time. My hybrid bicycle with a gear hub is not a speed daemon. But it is good enough, and one should also take care in the traffic. Fortunately I have long stretches where there are few pedestrians or other people on bicycle, and few crossings.
These photographs were taken on Sunday at Tremanskärr swamp and Kurkijärvi lake.
