pyöräilylle

pyöräilylle is a Finnish grammatical construction formed by adding the allative suffix -lle to the noun pyöräily (cycling). In Finnish, -lle signals direction, purpose, or a beneficiary, so pyöräilylle is used to express “for cycling,” “to cycling,” or “allocated for cycling” depending on context. It is not a standalone concept but a form used within sentences to indicate that something is intended for cycling or allocated to it.

In practice, pyöräilylle appears mainly in formal writing, planning documents, budgets, and policy language. It is common in municipal or regional documents that designate resources, programs, or measures for cycling infrastructure, safety, and promotion. For example, phrases like varaukset pyöräilylle (allocations for cycling), investointi pyöräilylle (investment for cycling), or ohjelma pyöräilylle suunnattu ohjelma (a program aimed at cycling) are typical ways the form is used to specify purpose.

Usage considerations: since -lle denotes purpose or beneficiary, the surrounding phrasing often pairs pyöräilylle with nouns such as budjetti (budget), investointi (investment), suunnitelma (plan), ohjelma (program), or toimenpide (measure). The form helps keep language concise in official contexts by clearly marking that the item is intended for cycling rather than other purposes.
