The 'Public' Bikes

Hi, are there the public bikes in Helsinki (that they have in Paris)? You put say EUR2 in and return the bike somewhere else for s limited period.

Also, will there be a mozzie problem in Helsinki in early August?

Cheers,

Yes, there are city bikes available. Check this link for more information:

I recall reading somewhere that the bikes are brand new for this year.

I don%26#39;t think mosquitoes are a problem any time of year in the southern cities.

That%26#39;s right, mozzies tend to favour a rural setting.

If you camp overnight in a park, mosquitoes might be a problem. That%26#39;s not something I would advise.

The city camping site is mosquito heaven, but the built-up areas are practically mozzy-free.
