1000 out of 1200 kids in this school in #Oulu, #Finland, arrive by #bicycle, even in winter. 100-150 walk, rest by ski, kicksleds and car. This day it was -17°C, some days it can be colder than -30°C.

Note that this is only one of the four bicycle parking areas of this school 🤗

@pekkatahkola I am also noticing the absence of locks. Where I live, there would be far fewer out there when school gets out. Good for them!

@pavlovs_mog Many of them have integrated frame locks though :)

@pekkatahkola Interesting! I had to google that. Seems lighter and more convenient than the heavy cable lock I keep in my saddle bag.

@pavlovs_mog They are so comfortable, easy and fast to use with a little less expensive, more basic bikes 🤗

@pavlovs_mog @pekkatahkola I noticed the same thing! It’s pretty rare to see an unattended bicyle without a lock in my neck of the woods.
