Bridge

I commuted by bicycle today. On the way back home I had to do some quick repairs to the bicycle, but that wasn't a problem as had tools with me. I need to have the bicycle serviced at some point, but I hope it holds for a while.

The photograph was taken on July 27th in Helsinki. I ride past this bridge on my daily commute. Today was a wet day, but I didn't get soaked, as the big rain happened during the work hours.
