On this #WorldBicycleDay, we invite you to take a look at the bicycle used by Finnish teenager Eero Tetri to escape the Russian army in 1944, which was advancing on his home city of Viipuri. Tetri’s story captures perfectly the Finnish concept of “sisu”, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of war. This extraordinary piece of history was gifted to the Museum by Tetri himself, dating to 1942. • • • • • • • • • #finland #history #wwii #artifact #sisu #museum #nordicmuseum #finnishhistory #bicycle #transportation #museum #ballard #seattle #finnish
