For safety reasons all riders must wear helmet and all bicycles have to be checked before riding to be sure that they have working brakes and are safe to ride. Because we don't have time take sign ups all the time we hope that you can come in time for the morning sign up. If you don't make it for morning sign up you can come in some of extra sign ups.
Becouse it is mid summer at Finland there is enough light trough the night to ride without a bike light
