Pyöränsiirto

Pyöränsiirto is a Finnish term that translates to "wheel transfer" or "transfer of the wheel". It refers to the process of moving a bicycle from one location to another without riding it. This can involve carrying it, transporting it on a vehicle, or using other mechanical means.

Common scenarios for pyöränsiirto include bringing a bicycle onto public transportation like buses or trains, loading it onto a car rack for travel, or carrying it up stairs or into buildings where riding is not possible. It can also refer to the act of moving a bicycle within a workshop for maintenance or repair.

The method of pyöränsiirto can vary depending on the weight and size of the bicycle, the distance to be covered, and the available resources. For short distances or when navigating obstacles, carrying the bicycle by hand is typical. For longer journeys, specialized racks for cars, trains, or even airplanes are employed.

Understanding pyöränsiirto is practical for cyclists who need to combine cycling with other modes of transport or store their bikes securely. It highlights the versatility of the bicycle as a mode of transport, acknowledging that direct riding is not always feasible or necessary for its relocation.
