http://budgetcyclist.blogspot.com/2012/02/ode-to-merino.html
Friday, February 10, 2012. For years I used to dream of better sports garments. Ones made out of a better material than the synthetic fibres they usually are made out of. Ones that wouldn't smell like a rotten carcass even though you wash them after each use. Ones that would be warm, comfortable and durable. I used to dream of these, assuming that the sports garment technology is not yet advanced enough to create such materials. My strategy for bicycling in the winter used to be something like this:.

http://budgetcyclist.blogspot.com/2012/11/learning-curve-pt-vi-pilgrimage.html
Saturday, November 17, 2012. Learning curve pt VI: pilgrimage. So, after watching some 5 movies (they were all very good) on a tiny screen in an aeroplane, there I was, in San Francisco, where the disciples, or possibly, descendants, of Gary Fisher display their mad skills by doing long wheelies in front of Alcatraz:. Anyway, after renting a bike (from Blazing Saddles. I headed for Marin County. I was kind of aware that to get there, you have to cross the Golden Gate bridge:. The terrain was mostly fire ...

Budget Cyclist: March 2012
http://budgetcyclist.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 13, 2012. You know what's wrong with the law? I can't be bothered.) And furthermore, they tell me (on the forums) that you're only allowed to ride on the road with a cycle path adjacent to it if the cycle path in question is not rideable.

After ruling the criminal underworld of Helsinki for decades, Smith-Polvinen's infinite ambition, as it seems, turned his interest towards the urban planning scene of the area in the 1960's.

Budget Cyclist: July 2011
http://budgetcyclist.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 21, 2011. Witnessed a guy with two bikes on the roof rack driving into an underground garage today, getting the bikes tangled in the ceiling structures, and probably destroying the bikes in the process. Hopefully they weren't expensive ones. Naturally, the first thing I thought was "I gotta get a picture of this". The camera of my mobile phone was in video mode though, so I got a 2 second video instead:. I feel no schadenfreude. Friday, July 15, 2011. Learning curve pt. deux. I can see the...
