In my previous setup I carried everything in a bright yellow dry bag divers usually use, and from that activity I have two of these water and air proof bags that traveled with me on the rack you see in the photo above. I use two bungee straps with hooks to keep everything in place […]

Today was an interesting day of commuting. It started yesterday, when I got fed up with feeling too much effort from my cycling, and I decided to lift my saddle even more. 10mm higher, yet again and you wouldn’t believe the difference. It was like gliding on clouds. This was naturally also due to having […]

It’s not only the hipsters of Portland, the commuters of Copenhagen or the marathon riders of France who handle their bicycle masterfully. This currently anonymous rider from Abene, Senegal shows his skills of not actually going very far with his bicycle, but he follows the BMX flatland doctrine. Which reminds me, that I have to […]

According to (a quite boring) legend, galoshes were invented by an Englishman called Radley. The man suffered from rheumatism and wanted to keep his shoes dry, and back then people didn’t have too many pairs of shoes since mass fabrication wasn’t a trending topic at the time.

I have to say, I was so excited to build my first bicycle and our mission was to get it done as soon as possible – my enthusiasm took over and I hardly took any photos. Also, it was a dark night and even my fast lens couldn’t catch our doings in the dark. Luckily, […]

I’m a bit torn at the moment as there are two riders with two different needs in me. If I just would commute directly from home to work and back, there wouldn’t be an issue. I could wear whatever spandex loving dream I would want to and be done with it very quickly. However, I […]

In the end of last week I started to feel more tired than usual and after our company’s autumn kick-off that went a bit longer than expected and I had even more fun than anticipated obviously resulted my stress hormones relaxing and giving in to the flu that my wife has had since last week. […]
