Well, there are good, smooth cycling paths all around the HUT campus &
Helsinki. You can skate hundreds of km around Helsinki area without doing
the same route twice. It is a nice way to visit surrounding areas like
Tapiola (abt. 2km westwards of HUT) or Westend seaside (another 2km further
to the south-west of HUT campus) or then abt. 10km to Helsinki center and
abt. 15km to the main beach in Helsinki (Hietaranta) and other places.
You'll want to have a good backpack with you for sandals or something as
skating in shops and shopping centres is forbidden as well as in busses and
trains.
Almost every road is lined with a foot/cycle path so it is rather safe too.
There are a couple of hills in the area, but nothing deadly or hard - mostly
nice and level ground.
Cheers,
Raymond
P.S. After you get the hang of skating it's a breeze... It usually takes a
could of weeks to get accustomed, but once you find your balance it a walk
in the park.
