This month has been quite dreary in terms of cycling. First it was too dark, then I broke my bike because it was too slippery, now it got too cold to even take my bike to the repair shop. Why, you ask? Because the car won’t start. I’m really starting to think the gods would [...]

The dudes at Bikeridr brought this game to our attention and we just have to show this you, up-and-coming game for the iOS devices, so that would be your Apple branded iPhones, iPads and iPod touches. There have been several times when I’ve had a drink break at a café, drinking my soy latte in [...]

If you have been following us in the last months, you’ve seen us riding up and down, roads and forests but with our last trip to test drive the new Merida models, I really found the spark to do some proper off-road riding again. It really doesn’t help that the web is full of awesome [...]

We posted our first post on June 27th this year, and during that week we got a massive 45 visits to our seven posts. That was cool. We didn’t have any expectations (.. and we still don’t) about writing this lovely hobby of ours, but things have been going up. There have been clear things [...]
