A couple of twenty-somethings from Oulu are cycling across Finland on a tandem bike. The YouTubers are streaming the entire journey on the Kiimeli YouTube channel.

The YouTubers started their live stream today at 10:30 a.m. in Nuorgam. The YouTubers estimate that the trip will take about 3 weeks. They set out on the journey “just for the heck of it.” They’ve packed food and have planned rest stops along the way.
This isn’t the first time the YouTubers have cycled across Finland. The first time, they took on a nearly identical challenge, but rode a Jopo bike from Lapland to Helsinki. The Jopo, which has no gears, added an extra challenge.

Back then, the YouTubers cycled from Lapland to Helsinki in nine days, covering about 850 kilometers. This time, they have about 750 kilometers more to cover.
The Kiimeli YouTube channel quickly gained popularity with a 1,000-hour Minecraft stream. It was billed as a “world record stream,” though this information is not confirmed. Kaleva published an article about it. According to Someuutiset, it was at least the longest stream in Finland.
Someuutiset is following the journey and updating the article as time allows.
