Conquering Helsinki's Ultimate Bike Route Challenge

Hello! Today we will cycle from Kallio to Herttoniemi in Helsinki. Kallio is a district and a neighbourhood in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, located on the eastern side of the Helsinki peninsula about one kilometre north from the city centre. It is one of the most densely populated areas in Finland. Kallio is separated from the city centre by the Siltasaarensalmi strait, over which is a bridge called Pitkäsilta ("long bridge"). Traditionally, the bridge symbolizes the divide between the affluent centre and the more working class areas around Kallio.

Herttoniemi was annexed to Helsinki in the Great annexation of Helsinki in 1946. The construction of new neighbourhoods was begun in the annexed areas, Herttoniemi being the first and biggest of these neighbourhoods. Located about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) east of the city centre, Herttoniemi can be reached by the Helsinki Metro in 10 minutes, or by road via the Itäväylä arterial road (Finnish regional road no. 170) running from the inner city area through the eastern suburbs.
