Civilization is almost here
One easy way to define the level of civilization of a locality is how well pedestrians and cyclers are taken into account. The bike path / sidewalk from Liperi to Ylämylly (connecting us to Joensuu) is finally being built. Once it’s completed, I could ride (or rollerblade) to work safe from cars during the whole 30km trip. Well, except the 1,7 kms or rural road that we live on. But we’re happy to live in the boonies :)
