I remember those slides. Metal and kind of sucked on a hot day but they were probably worse here with 40C summers than back home where they were plenty hot enough at 27C XD

How did you get the bike up? At the school there was a play fort structure thing which we would sometimes drag the bikes up so we could ride down the slides on them but no one I knew was brave enough to pedal down (we just kind of sat and cruised and some people would lightly brake on the way down because scared of speed wobble and the drop and also there were obstacles directly in line of both slides though I can't remember what now, and the fort isn't there anymore partly because it was made of wood which would have rotted and mostly because a lot of what used to be play area got flattened in favour of more school buildings).

I also have a very vague and possibly incorrect memory of someone riding down one of the metal slides with the ladders but couldn't say how they got it up there to begin with.
