The intense colors impart a psychedelic property to this shot. The fork blade with potted plant behind it is particularly interesting.

....but a lot of grass to mow.


If they could just do something about the long winters.
Thanks (bikes)!

We are one of the less populated countries in the world. There is a lot of space.

Mowing... Not any longer. At least not for me. Here I am having a sports drink while the robot mower does its thing...

Allergies cut the ride short so I parked it in the backyard - within eyeshot - while working on another bike project. Anybody know the name of this flower?


Why I adjusted the saddle to have this much tilt, I couldn’t understand - at least for the unpadded around the block ride today!

narrow bars make it feel super responsive - slightly flared to 38cm at the drops - and tall head tube makes riding the drops a pleasure experience.

Helping to renovate a community garden. The Bertin has been a great tool.
