On Monday, 13 October, Finnur refused to let the kids bike to school because there was a layer of potentially slippery frost covering everything, and we still hadn’t switched any of our bikes to studded winter tires.<\/p>\n

Being a fully grown adult, who makes good adult decisions, Finnur then decided to bike to work himself, on his summer tires.<\/p>\n

Which went fine because the paths were mostly fine, except when all of a sudden they weren’t, and Finnur went flying off his bike, breaking a bone in his left hand. \u00a0He managed to bike the rest of the way to work, but when the pain in his hand wouldn’t stop he took a taxi to the emergency room. They diagnosed him as having a double fracture, so he was put in a cast, but when he went back for reexamination the next week, it was downgraded to a single fracture, and a splint installed instead.

\"Later<\/a>

Later that evening Finnur and I changed the tires on three sets of bikes, three-handed. My hands got thoroughly dirty!<\/p><\/div>\n

Dirty hands Google-bot style!<\/p><\/div>\n

Here’s the email he sent out, the cheeky bugger (Icelandic only, sorry):<\/p>\n
