Biking around 14 islands of Stockholm






















In Spring 2020, it was not recommended to take public transportation due to covid-19. I usually took walks along the lake, occasionally to the city.

In May and in June, I was happy to cycle to different places in Stockholm. Really nice. 

One evening I biked around 4 islands. There are 14 islands in Stockholm, why not bike around all the islands in one day?

On 7th July, it was nice weather and windy. I began around 4 pm and had a very plesant journey to the islands. I took my time to enjoy the beautiful views, stopped to read about interesting places, and explored how to get to the waterline at Stora Essingen. Later in the evening it began to rain. It got dark and it was windy, so I biked around 12 of the 14 islands. Not bad. 

On 10th July, it was cloudy, not much wind, a perfect day for my cycling. Begining around 2 pm, I biked around the islands of Södermalm, Gamla Stan, Skeppsholmen, Kastellholmen, Djurgården, Beckholmen, Helgeandsholmen, Strömsborg, Kungsholmen, Lilla Essingen, Stora Essingen, Riddarholmen, Långholmen, Reimersholme. I went swimming in Stora Essingen. My biking-around-14-islands-of-Stockholm trip took 7 hours in total, and was about 58 km. Well done. :-)
