#Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu@pekkatahkola This looks absolutely magical, like something straight out of a winter fairy tale. totally brings me back to growing up in Canada in this kind of deep‑freeze glow.
I love it, but I can’t stop thinking that biking on what looks like a frozen sugar glaze has to be way more dangerous than these calm photos suggest

@pekkatahkola This is really beautiful, thanks for sharing. 🩵
@nachtet You're welcome (also to visit Oulu)
-
@pekkatahkola I want to go there... I really do miss those very cold days where the snow squeaks and the trees crack and groan.
@crenquis The soundscape of cold weather and snow is so wonderful indeed, I love it 🥰

@inVinnieVeritas It's absolutely magically wonderful! And I'm sure you know _snow_ isn't really slippery. Especially cold snow isn't. Ice and wet ice are. And we've got great maintenance here, so basically you could even ride this with slick racing tires
It also makes a huge difference as we don't allow cars on the same surface to destroy the grip and polish the snow into slippery ice. -

#Oulu #MeanwhileInOuluThis is unspeakable beautiful. Would it be possible to have a video of the scenery? Including the sound of bike on snow? I'd love to hear that once... Or maybe you already have one uploaded?

#Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu@pekkatahkola Yeah I almost busted by head open climbing over a mountain of ice just to press the pedestrian beg button to get permission to leave my house on my bike. Oulu sure sounds nice.

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.

#Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu@pekkatahkola This is just propaganda from Big Finnish to get people to buy more homes in Finland... and it's very effective

@pekkatahkola @inVinnieVeritas By the snow you can drive without any problems. "like frozen sugar glaze" - it’s like this.

@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.
