Something Finnish winter and Indian summer have in common

Winter cycling in Finland is a major drag due to the sharp stones spread across the roads and bike paths. Flat tyres are a constant nuisance. Mountain biking in India surprisingly has the same drawback - there are very sharp needles on some plants and trees and once you run over fallen ones punctures tend to result.

The ride I was on was quite fast that for me after almost a year off the saddle so the stops to fix punctures were welcome breaks to get my breath and legs back.
