Slow crawl yesterday cycling around Tallinn, focusing on the east side. Had a great time even though the sun was blazing hot the whole day.
Tallinn is rather ok to cycle around, though it is a rather car heavy city. There are some dedicated cycle paths, but mostly the small amount of cyclists seem to ride on the sidewalk. Lots of waiting to cross wide roads with a heavy amount of traffic. On the plus side, lots of parks to enjoy.
Best fun part of the day, ending up in the huge botanic garden due to OpenStreetMaps navigation telling me to go through it, but the route ending up on a locked gate. I soon got a bit lost there and struggled to find a way out having arrived through a random open gate in the forest. Leaving via the ticket counter with my bike I put on my best smile and carried off.
I must say OSM routing was dubious at more than one occasion during today, telling me to cut through rather inconvenient little paths or make crossings across busy multi-lane roads in seemingly suicidal places. Possibly lack of maintainers?
All in all a really fun day exploring the city.
