It is easy to bicycle around Lappeenranta. There is a total of 275 kilometres of bicycle roads with spectacular views and 95 kilometres of main bicycle routes. The cycling route network has been systematically extended and the main routes have been selected so that they form a comprehensive and clear network throughout the city, from all directions. In a border city like Lappeenranta, bicycling is a transnational hobby that extends into Russia: the Lappeenranta-Vyborg Friendship Bicycling Event will be organised in May, just as it has been, since 1988.
