ZWEITE RUNDE
cycolonia, die kleine aber feine zuschauermesse rund ums fahrrad geht ins zweite jahr. letztes mal war es sehr nett, viele lokale aussteller, interessante vorträge von extrem-reise-radlern, bmx-contest vom peoples store, testparcours und oben auf dem dach bike-polo und bier mit den feinen herren vom bike-syndikat. das wetter wird gut, die tickets sind mit sechs euro günstig, herz was willst du mehr?
WINTER IS COMING
winter is coming at us with big steps, the grocery stores have stocked up all the christmas sweets, we switched the clock back to winter time, the temperature dropped to one digit numbers...
this means we all have to prepare our bikes, add fenders, lights, bigger tyres...
after cycling through the winter for the last two years I decided to build up a dedicated bike for winter riding, with fenders, dyno hub, lights, cross-tyres
but I also want to use this bike for touring and a little offroad riding.
after searching the web for an appropriate and versatile web I finally came across this wonderful frameset from SINGULAR. it arrived yesterday an I can't wait to build it up.
check out the frameset below, I'll keep you posted on the next steps of the build.

FLYING WITH YOUR BIKE....
...is actually very easy!
we flew with germanwings into MARSEILLES and back to CGN out of BARCELONA, extra charge for the bike was 35,- one way.
I was scared my bike would get damaged, so I wrapped all the tubes in isolation foam from the homestore and put the bike into a cardbox from a local bike shop (thank you, radfieber!)
the bike arrived fine in MARSEILLES.
in BARCELONA we didn't have the time or chance to get any of the materials from the first flight, so we simply wrapped our bikes in bubble foil (thank you my beautiful parking!)
the bikes returned safely to CGN.

MRS TO BCN
this year's cycling trip took me and two good friends from MARSEILLES to BARCELONA.
700km along the coastline, crossing CAMARGUE, LANGUEDOC, seaside PYRENEES and COSTA BRAVA. check out some pictures below!

BACK
I didn't post much over the past two months due to lack of motivation. cycling was not fun during this winter with all that snow, ice, cold feet, cold hands...
but I can feel the spring coming, I finished preparing my new roadbike and my new fixed whip is also nearly finished. I'll post some pictures of my bikes shortly, just like gaku did. (lovely bikes by the way!)
I heard rumors that there will be some bike polo action at the cycolonia exhibition end of march, I'll let you know about the details soon.
another interesting event this month is the stalen ros bicycle show in NEERKANT, NETHERLANDS. a show and marketplace(!) for pre 1980's roadbikes, check out the flyer:
found at rotterdam fixed gear
and this is an amazing video I just spotted over at prolly
