#Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu@pekkatahkola i had misread Oahu: the end of the world I thought!

@pekkatahkola Tried to navigate that frozen glaze on my bike last time it snowed here in Brussels going back home from work.
Slipped and fell 3 times before walking next to the bike
Took this picture to remember what caused all those falls.From memory nobody biked on the other side of the Atlantic back in the 80s to early/mid 90s.
@inVinnieVeritas Doesn't look like anyone has ever heard of maintenance there
-
@tg9541 Wondering that too. Poor fella might have been damaged and or stolen, and abandoned, and/or maybe set aside by the snow plow driver. Still seems mostly bicycle-shaped though. No idea
@pekkatahkola I've been to Oulu; stayed there for a night, worked on the airport tarmac on a September day. I no longer remember why it was so important to be there, but I liked the town, and memories of some places are still vivid after 20 years.

@pekkatahkola @inVinnieVeritas By the snow you can drive without any problems. "like frozen sugar glaze" - it’s like this.
This morning I cycled a bit on streets that were frozen over - slippery enough that getting on the bike was a challenge. Riding was relatively safe, thanks to studded tires.

@sheislaurence Haha, that seems to happen surprisingly often
You're at least the second person in the last five years to say that 🤭 -

@pekkatahkola The temps here are not much different. But we've got those huge trucks. And way too much ice, not the good kind, the kind with guns and nazîs. I want out of here.

@retech Yeah. Ice needs to be and stay out.

#Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu@pekkatahkola not having to wear a helmet to protect yourself from inconsiderate car driver related eventualities frees up your head for a floofy hat too,,,,

@CIMB4 Exactly. Or whatever you want to wear

@Zimtfisch I don't know about the crying ones, but screaming ones yes: https://www.huutajat.org/en/
Although I don't think "screaming" is a perfect translation either, but that's what they seem to go with themselves so whatever
