My youngest daughter Mimmi turned 3 years old this Saturday and we got her the "Springcykel" I wrote about last month. In short a Springcykel is a kids bike without pedals that you propel with the help of kicking it forward with your feet and when you reach sufficient speed you lift up your feet and just glide along. On Sunday afternoon we took the bike out for a spin. The bike is really

While browsing out the newest addition to my blog roll, Bicycle Diaries, I found a link to New York Photographer J. Shumachers blog What about the Plastic Animals  and his gallery called The Abandoned Bicycles of New York. According to his biography, Joe lives in Harlem. He walks around a lot and takes pictures of what he sees. He will be your friend if you feed him ice cream. Abandoned

Went down to the annual Cykloteket Street show with my oldest daughter Siri and a friend of her. Brought my camera with me as I did last year.  If if you're into the Flying Circus of Dirt Kids check out my web-album below. The setup this year was a little bit different than last year. This time two medium sized Big Air ramps where used compared to last year when they had one big one. Despite

Got an invitation to my LBS's to attend the sneak peak of their autumn sale that starts tomorrow. When I arrived there was at least 100 people outside waiting in line. 15-30% on the 2006 models where offered and people was ripping bikes of the walls. Including the Kona Explosif I had eyed out for myself before my commuter got stolen and I had to put my money elsewhere and postpone my mountain

Ever wished you were Darth Vader when struggling with your daily commute? Wouldn't it be great to disable the respiratory system of the idiot behind you, hanging on his horn? Or perhaps use the force to turn the the traffic lights green in your favor? Ted Selker, research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab has been developing the ultimate commuter bicycle helmet.

 My youngest daughter, Mimmi, is having her third birthday soon and I have up till now been thinking that next summer will be a good time for her to taste the joys of cycling. Reading Gwadzilla's post about Like-A-Bike, yesterday got me thinking they maybe we could start earlier with a Springcykel. At a price of 990 SEK, roughly 90-100$, It seems like a bargain compared to the Like-A-Bike that

 When my bike got stolen in broad daylight on a busy street, chained to a shopping cart rack, with a lock that was approved by every insurance company in Sweden I couldn't, at first, figure out how they did it without raising any attention. Thinking about it later on I guessed that the people that steals bike doesn't care if they get attention at all. Putting myself in the situation that walking

In my current mission to get a new bike, as a replacement for my old Dr. Dew that got stolen a couple of weeks ago, Kona's Online Tech Support has been really helpful. Not sure how many bike manufacturers there is that run an online tech support forum. But if they don't they should look into it. Since one of the candidates, the 2007 Sutra, isn't part of any LBS's stock here in Stockholm, I must

A couple of week's ago my workhorse, a 2003 Kona Dr. Dew, got stolen in broad daylight on a busy street outside my workplace in Sundbyberg, a suburb of Stockholm. The shock I went through when I came out the door, ready to ride home, and looked at the broken Abus Granite Futura lock hanging from the shopping cart rack still sends shivers down my spine. At first I thought it was the supermarket

But it sure has an alarming effect on bike prices in Zimbabwe.The price of a bike in October was almost twenty times what it was a year earlier, as Zimbabweans frustrated by chronic fuel shortages opted increasingly for pedal power.The

Commute By Bike has posted an excellent review of a bike rack system I've been eyeing out for some time. It's the Allen Racks 144a model that has been scrutinized and in very good way.Really useful review if you are shopping for a carrying solution for your bike(s).

Back on track. Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been back in civilization for a couple of weeks but have had a hard time getting back to blogging. However, the summer has been filled with cycling and cycling related events so I’ll get back soon with some stories.During the summer I have modified my Kona Dr. Dew from a slick flat-bar racer to a slick flat-bar Touring/Commuter machine.

During the last weeks We have slowly begun to move out to our summer house on Färingsö. We have deliberately chosen not to get an Internet connection there so from now to the middle of August there will be very little posts on BikeLog. Hopefully the weather will be great so we can do a lot of cycling. Reports will come, but not as they happen. Once every week we will probably get back to town to

Cloudy and a bit chilly today but again my windstopper bibs and jacket proved effective. Rode with the middle group and we had a really good ride. The speed sections felt good and a particularly hilly section that i usually have trouble with went really well today.

Really tough ride this time. Managed to do the hill section a little better than before but after that we did some speed sections and i had to let em go. We started the speed section immediately after the hill intervals and since i was one of the slower rider i got like 1-2 minutes of recovery between the events, a bit sad. Next time I'll speak up and bargain for some more recovery time. The

Good ride. Did the same ride as last Tuesday and it felt good and hard. I must work on my endurance and find a way of not losing my speed and breath on long shallow climbs. It feels like I'm having trouble to estimate gearing and workload when doing these. I find steeper climbs more easy to do.After the hill climb we celebrated the good weather by doing some regular riding. We did two loops on a

Asked for some advice regarding eating before an evening ride after feeling like throwing up after Tuesdays Hill Intervals. Not that intervals should make you feel good when you're at it, but I had a feeling that I maybe eat too much and/or too soon before the ride.Got some good input from DC, VinoVelo and Jank, thank you all!I'm in a special position right now since I'm home on paternity leave

Good club ride this time. Summer is finally here! 22 degrees Celsius and practically no wind, even warmer yesterday compared with Tuesdays Hill Intervals.We did the rotating chain on the three speed sections instead of "free speed for all" and it worked out fine this time. I however have problems with one of the sections that contain an easy but long climb where i always seems to lose the wheel

Tuesdays climbing was good. We tried a new section this evening, which is located in a more picturesque location, to match the evenings beautiful weather, sun and 20 degrees Celsius. Good hills with less recovery between the efforts. One steep short hill and and a long more moderate climb and 7 loops through them took the breath out of me. Need some advice from fellow cyclist.

Heavy ride today. Lost the lid to my water bottle during the start. Didn't notice it until i hit a bump and i felt water spraying on my legs. The lid must have unscrewed itself. In a couple of minutes the bottle was only half full, but at least that gave me 40 cl to drink during the ride. Thank you Jonas for offering me some of your water at the end.

Six times up the 500 m hill and three times up the shorter but steeper one.Got an advice from the captian who spotted that the lower end of my bars was pointing slightly upwards.

The Union - OpinionBiker, Rick Silberman, makes an official apology after having a clinch with a driver. Good call Silberman! I think it is easy to look at cars and their drivers as enemies when driving in traffic. Your vulnerability as a biker tend to make you defensive, a state of mind that seldom helps your judgement.

A Rohloff TourerI have come to the conclusion that i need a touring bike. Something i can hook fenders, low-riders and a rear rack to. Going for longer rides, bringing stuff to eat and sleep and a change of clothes is out of the questions with my current bikes. For maintenance free riding a Rolhoff Speed Hub seems like a really good thing. A bit pricy up front, but i guess if you compare it

Good but somewhat painful ride. I have a stingy sensation in the tendons above my left calf. I think i got it because I've been riding the big ring to much for a while. During the Thursday ride i concentrated on keeping my cadence high (>100) and kept the chain on the small ring almost all the ride. The stingy sensation comes on the upstroke and i still feel it a little now when i lift my left

Just three of us tonight but the weather was good and so was the company. Felt much better this time but i guess it's because now i know the slopes, how long and how much effort they require. We did five climbs of the long hill (500m) and 3 of the shorter but steeper one(200m). I felt like doing some more runs but we decided to quit for the evening.

After reading and posting about the interview with 102 year old Jack Visco. A bike-racing pioneer still going strong although not on his bike. I got interested in the fact that the invention of the bicycle was of great importance to the women's movement in the late 19th and beginning of the 20th century.Turning to Google i found this article by Nancy Botkin published in the online news service

Florida Today has an interesting interview with 102-year-old bike-racing pioneer Jack Visco.An interesting angle I have never realized before was the importance of bicycling for the women's movement in the early days. ... the women's movement was gaining momentum behind leaders like Susan B. Anthony, who said, "The bicycle has done more for the emancipation of women than anything else in the

Rode with the 30km/h group today. Good weather but a troublesome start with lots of waiting, slowriding due to people having mechanical problems and such. After 10km we got rolling and had a really fast and nice ride. Some of the licensed riders who usually ride with the fast group rode with us today because they wanted to take it easy since they had a race on Friday. They really whipped up the

Did my first Hill intervals Training Session with the club tonight. The Stockholm area is kind of flat so we don't have to much hills to ascend/descend here. But the club frequently use a section in a suburban area with really steep slopes. We did 8 loops through this hilly area and it was really tough and painful. But, no pain, no gain and it really felt good after.So if family life permits it,

Went out to the summer house on Ekerö Wednesday morning for the holidays and I had planned to bring my bike since the apex of the club ride loop is just 1 km from the house. The plan was to go solo down to the gathering point and the ride back to the apex with the club.Got my thinking straight though and remembered that, at the cabin we just have an outside lake-water shower and that the ice

Great ride today. Weather was good around +10c and sunny.I switched group and joined the "Middle Group" who aim at an average speed of 30 km/h. Major part of the ride was just riding at 30 km/h but in the middle they threw in some faster sections. Before halftime break we rode +35 km/h switching drafter every 10 second for about 5.5 km. With 15 riders i was up about 3 or 4 times. This felt great

Colder than a Well Diggers Ass as Tom Waits sang was a good description of tonight's ride. I rode with the slow group since i still have to practice my group riding skills. A couple of times we had to slow down to wait for people in the back. During these periods it got even colder. I guess it would have been better if we could have held the group together but the captains had a hard time with
