  • While researching tyres for a new bike project, I stumbled across the Vittoria Terreno Zero 700×47c. They’re not listed on Vittoria’s website but lots of retailers have them. Looking forward to giving them a spin. 🚲

  • I do enjoy me some hiking, even in cold and misty weather like this past Sunday.

    Foreground: Flowing grassy hilltop covered in frost and some snow. Closed off on the right hand side in the near distance by trees. Background: Foggy skies and barely visible hills.A path covered in brown leaves stretching into the distance. Coniferous trees, roughly 4 metres high flank the path as it disappears into mist in the distance. Higher trees are visibile in the background.

  • Cycled to the other side of Freiburg today to pick up two EXIT game puzzles. It was much colder than expected and I had to push hard to make the meeting with the seller. Bought some emergency cake to fuel for the ride back home.

  • Out with the old, in with the new. It was time to replace the Chris King PF30 bottom bracket that came with the bike with something new and better. So I went with a Cane Creek Hellbender 70. Installation was super smooth. 🚲

  • One of the most noble tasks a bike can perform: carry pizza.

    (Side note: pizza from the new Italian restaurant in the vicinity is quite good.)

    Two brown pizza boxes with a very simple design strapped to the rear rack of a bronze e-bike with elastic bands. at the bottom of the frame a right foot in sandals is partly visible.

  • I just love starting into the day with a bit of cycling. This morning I took Battle Cat 2.0 on a quick single track ride in a nearby forest and onto a pump track for the first time. 🚲
