As you can see, people don't lock their bikes here. They don't wear helmets either! The second picture is of a church from the 12th century.
I did learn that Finland was under Swedish rule once and then Russian rule as well. Turku used to be the capital. Turku has a population of about 150,000 people, but the University hospital serves the population surrounding the city as well. I still haven't picked up any words yet - this language is intense. Everyone here however, is required to speak English to have a job. Most people also speak Russian and Swedish.
I hope to have some time to see something tomorrow.
Also, I found this gem in a bookstore window :)

If the bikes are like Sweden, they have built-in locks that go through the spokes of the rear wheel. they might not be locked *to* anything, but don't go grabbing one as a get-away vehicle...
