Kaupunkipyöräilijän käsikirja [The urban biking handbook] (2011)
Author Charles Haine (translated to Finnish by Maija Kauhanen) goes through all kinds of things related to urban cycling. There is information about different types of bikes and how they suit urban cycling, explanations on what components a bike is made of, (very high level) sections on repairs, tips on building your own bike from parts, a section on bikepacking (is that actually urban?) and a long section on running your own bike club. All in all lots of good information to whet your appetite, should one want to explore in more detail elsewhere.
Some of the text is rather opinionated, written very much in a "this is the truth" kind of way. Also, the section on customizing your bike had no mention of using stickers! Shocking, I know!
