30 minutes Sunday bike ride in Stockholm city center (and a detour to view the sakura)
This is the second part of the bike ride that celebrated the arrival of spring (first part here: ruclips.net/video/NJ6BHGhS2SQ/видео.html). I started near the city hall then passed by the central train station and made a detour by the sakura trees in Kungsträdgården. They were in full bloom and I wanted to see the crowds (an unusual sight in Stockholm!).
I ended the ride in Kastellholmen, a small island. There is normally a boat where I ended the video, but without it, we have a better view of Gröna Lund, an amusement park ideally located close to many museums and touristic locations.

First Spring Ride of 2023 in Stockholm
Просмотров 295Год назад
Finally a warm(ish) day! Spring is late this year, it is now May and trees have just started budding. During this first warm ride of the year, I crossed Södermalm, Stockholm's hipster central, then Gamla Stan, the old town, to end up near the most visited museum in the city (and in scandinavia): Vasa Museum.

Spring is finally here! And the cherry blossom are here to remind us. Kungsträdgården is the most famous parc where we can enjoy the flowers. It is also super crowded, which is why I went very early on a Sunday morning. Lumaparken is not as famous and outside the city center so it is quieter. Route: goo.gl/maps/HEZztknsuUkCUCyL8
Peaceful morning commute from Lidingö to Stockholm

Spring will be here soon, the ice and snow are completely gone, cycling is easier now. This is "rush hour". It is amazing how calm the city is and how safe it is to cycle here. On this commute, 85% of the way is cycle lanes. Actual safe, wide, separated lanes. Luxurious! The bridge at 9:20 will soon be replaced by a new one, on the right, so I'll try to include the old one (its name literally m...

This old bridge will soon be replaced with a new, larger one. A true cycling highway with 4 lanes! I can't wait to try it out.

This is like a yield sign only for cyclists that supersedes the light. I did ran a couple or red lights at the end of the video near the Louvre though. Thanks for making me look at that video again, good memories :D

    Sensational video!! You are a great asset to the RUclips channel. You have captured the exquisite architecture covering many kilometres. The real joy is to watch it all at a much faster pace, which is a lot more enjoyable than tthe average walking city tour. It really shows Paris is improving the bike lanes for 2026. Long live the joys riding the bicycle throughout the city center. Please make more videos like this one cycling in between each building and down the coble streets. My only recommendation would be to include less of the open spaces like the parks and raise the camera angel slightly higher to capture more of the buildings and less of the road surface.

    Appreciating the little effort. But needless to say, that's not how it's properly done. The bike lanes should be positioned alongside the sidewalks and the cars should be parked beside the road. In fact the sidewalk and the bike lanes should be both elevated ted from the road by like 2 feet.
