Sparking
Sparks are really cool. They are like chairs on long, flexible runners. You can stand on the runners, hold the chair back and scoot around by pushing off as if you were on a skateboard. In Sweden, they are common around-the-town winter transportation, because sidewalks are left with a few inches of snow on them for that purpose. Roads are snowcovered too because they don't use salt. So Sparking is actually a very practical means of going around villages. Kind of like winter bicycles. So here are a couple of photos I took in Åsele on the way home from the loppet today.
Two ladies sparking about town. You can either have a passenger on the seat,
or use it to hold stuff
I think this is awesome. Spark parking outside the grocery store.
