Seeing the number of cars in predicaments due to the snow in #Helsinki today is a good reminder that cars in themselves are perhaps more sensitive than bikes to winter conditions.
We’re just accustomed to such high levels of winter road maintenance for motor vehicles here that it isn’t noticed.
If you slip into a snow wall with your bike, you don’t need a showel to free it.
@jhilden I'm a terrible person but I can't help giggle when I see a car trapped in the snow, requiring serious pushing uphill by multiple people. Happens all the time in smaller streets in #Kallio like Harjukatu.
Classic #Helsinki: I bump into a fellow cyclist in the neighbourhood, get invited to pay a quick visit, find out their flatmate is a #NixOS user. You can imagine what happened next.
