During a recent visit to Finland I was in need of a good training ride but hadn't brought a bike…read morewith me. I called a couple local bike shops but they didn't rent road bikes. Then, I found Bicyclean on Yelp and gave them a call - "no problem" they said. A quick bus ride to Helsinki and 10 min walk from city center to Katajanokka later I arrived to find a brand new bike in my size set up with the pedals I had requested. The owners were super accommodative and we're able to supply everything I needed (pedals, tube, pump, tire levers, water bottle, etc) for a nice ride along the coast and into the country. A helmet was included with the rental, though I had brought my own. Bicyclean is conveniently located next to the ferry terminals. They have all types of bikes at very reasonable prices. Most importantly, they made the process quick and easy. I enjoyed it so much I came back a second time. Thanks Bicyclean! https://www.strava.com/activities/632145097

Even though I've been traveled a lot and got friendly and good customer service before it is nothing to compared to Bike Planet's service. Whether it was my wheels that were out of air or my loose tires, they fixed it. It always took less than five minutes (I always made to my lecture on time thanks for them!) and without any charge with the huge smile on their faces. They made my day every time I went there. Last time I was so happy that I could pay for them since they changed some parts of my bike - but no, they didn't let me. That was the only disappointment. Go there and be happy. There is still so much good left in this world!

I am a yoga fanatic. I am obsessed with Pilates. I like to run (away from my problems). I am a 7…read moreday a weeker at Shanti, Purna, and on the streets of Helsinki. That being said, I go through sports clothes like most people go through underpants. Coming from California where we wear yoga pants and flip flops year-round, it is outrageous that one can't find decent fitness wear that is not designed by Stella McCartney in this city. I'll take decent quality at a reasonable price over questionable quality that costs more than a kidney, thank you very much. Besides, I have LuluLemon OUTFITS that cost less than Nike pants or a Puma running jacket here in Helsinki. Hint, people: order that shit online. Nike running pants do NOT cost 80e ($100 give or take) in the US. I digress. I like their in-house brand, SOC. If I can't buy real yoga pants (people: REAL yoga pants are flared at the bottom, not ribbed) here, I'll settle for the Stadium brand running pants or tight, compression, cropped sports pants. They're a great deal, very comfortable, and true to size. Also - great selection of sports shoes and great prices on those. Their sales are remarkable. Their kid's clothes are great, and the sales staff are warm and helpful. If I knew how to snowboard without breaking something, I would totally shop here for gear. Best selection of North Face in the city, too. Oh yeah- in California we also live in our North Face. So...this is kind of like being at home to me.
