Actually, I was able to find it through google. It's called a CrosSled.



EDIT: Apparently it's a pretty good way of geting around in the winter, not only can get around quicker with it, but it can be used a walker for seniors so they don't slip on ice, or even as a make-shift dog sled.

You don't know what a dirge is?


1 : a song or hymn of grief or lamentation; especially : one intended to accompany funeral or memorial rites
2 : a slow, solemn, and mournful piece of music

Mass transit is ok in Helsinki and in its immidiate presense.. and few other bigger cities, but everywhere else it SUCccks.

In the UK anyway, live in the city and become a reverse commuter. When everyone is going into the city, you're driving out of it to work. When everyone is going home from working in the city, you're on your way in. Alternatively living in the city also gives you the option of working there and doing away with direct and indirect transportation costs altogether.

There are other advantages too.

Another bonus! If I go back to Reckitt's, with our move I am within walking distance of work, if I get the job with Syngenta (in Cheshire), I can reverse commute...owzat! Also if the public transport connections are decent if I get that job, all the better!

Been drinking again, Pecker?

Osweld:
(1) My answer to you is:

Quoting myself, I first edited it to above post, but then I felt stupid for not answering with a new post:
Potkukelkka, a kick-sled is perhaps the English translation. Owning it is adequate at rural areas and 'normal-sized' cities due to vicinity of rural areas (a 'normal-sized' means 20 000 - 50 000 citizens).
Snow is cleared off from inner city areas and their pavements are coated with small pieces of granite (well, you could call it sand, actually).

(2) I think your old avatar was much more sympathetic than those Stalin and Mario ones.

I just bought a new bike yesterday. It is my only form of transport (besides the pathetic bus system occasionally) at my disposal.

Its also the only form of rigorous exercise at my disposal too.

bicycles are clogging up the roads?

what do they expect cars to do?

I don't think we ever have to worry about China being dominant over the U.S. They just sealed their fate.
