Meeting Points
We have four different meeting points for our bike tours. Most of the tours, such as Helsinki Highlights by Bikes, Sunset Sauna Cycle, Arts & Archipelago Cycle, Berry Picking by Bike and White Night Ride have a meeting point in the very heart of the city on Narinkka Square in Kamppi, which is the modern center of Helsinki.
For private tours within a walking distance from the cruise ship and ferry ports of West Harbour, we use our meeting point in the street address of Santakatu 2E in the Ruoholahti neighborhood located close-by.
For Porvoo by Bike as well as the customized Lake Tuusula day trip and other longer tours outside Helsinki the meeting points is in the street address of Vyökatu 7 in Katajanokka neighborhood.
For Fat Bike Forest Ride our meeting point is at the Vuosaari Paddling Center in the street address of Harbonkatu 12, Helsinki. We also offer fat biking at Nuuksio national park with transfer from the center of Helsinki.

Kamppi
Our meeting point on Narinkka Square in Kamppi is very easy to reach from anywhere, since it’s the modern center of the city. Kamppi is the biggest downtown shopping center and Narinkka square is the home of famous Kamppi Chapel of Silence.
We are based exactly on the other side of the square from the Chapel. When you find black containers with bicycle symbols you will find us. The Poni bikes are lined on the side of the container (look at the photo above!)
The exact street address is Narinkka 3, Helsinki.
