...that I started this. :) Last year was quite a busy year and the company I work for was trying to not bore me, which is a gentle formulation of keeping me really busy. That being said, I have recently been given a brand new iphone 4 which has quite an ok camera for blogging and I have realized that I must be doing other things again than work - so I'll post again from time to time.Here is a photo of my dear Bullitt covered in snow. Luckily I was offered some warm place to keep it warm by Florian - so it is still well an not rusty. It still beams me through the city without issue. It is the only blue one in Munich so far - so if you see me passing by (if you are quick enough) you are very welcome to say hello :).
This has been the first year when I did not stop riding over winter. My dear friend Jan has helped me to build a winter bike: 80's MTB frame, singlespeed w. Magura rim brakes (so nothing freezes) and BMX Handlebar and Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro. I have to say that I can only STRONGLY RECOMMEND riding with spikes in winter. It is pretty noisy on one side but the grip makes you forget about snow and ice totally. Ice Spiker Pro is totally overdone for the city, but they look just downright bad-ass on the MTB frame :). The only problem is that when you stop you have to put your feet down, which on black ice may still be an issue. :)
