Free bikes to ride In Helsinki

Robert Harper

Green bikes with yellow wheels pick them up and ride them for free in Helsinki Finland. Once you have used them just leave them in a public place for somebody else to pick up an use for free.

The gross and net result of it is that people who spent most of their natural lives riding iron bicycles over the rocky roadsteads of this parish get their personalities mixed up with the personalities of their bicycle as a result of the interchanging of the atoms of each of them and you would be surprised at the number of people in these parts who nearly are half people and half bicycle.
