Hello,
for those of you in need of a bike, there's a police lost and found auction coming up on 28th of September. It will be held at the main police station, starting from 12. The bikes that are for sale are shown starting from 11.30 so you can have a look in advance. It is good to be early because there are lots of people there. Also a good thing to have is someone finnish to translate for you, as many of the bikes have some defects which are explained as the bikes are sold. In addition, it is a good place to learn some numbers in finnish :)
may i add to touko's comments that the person you have with, should know the word "locked" in finnish especially, as you might end up buying an already locked bike and carry it all around the city (guess who did it :/). in addition the bus drivers usually do not allow bikes into the buses so you have to ride the bike from center to hervanta which is a nice rout and about 9,5 km so nothing big deal but remember to dress accordingly as it might be raining.
