I'm in Cologne, Germany....
and it sucks 'cause i don't have my bike!
goddamned British Airways and their, expensive baggage rates for bikes, my flight was late to heathrow i missed my connection, maybe i'm lucky cause they probs would have lost my bike anyway.
i'm going to visit bike syndikate shop tomorrow. the main messenger company here and a fixie friendly shop...looks like they had an alley cat two days ago!

I love the convenience of the tube vending machines. Last time I was in the fatherland I really wanted to find a Deutsche Post cargo bike to bring home.
