bicycles

The bike race was amazing.

Good times in Beijing.

Wonderfully I happen to arrive in Budapest just in time for the last day of the Hungarian national track championships. It was a good time with a lot of good people

In the video I state it is July 24th but it is really the 25th (my watch was wrong).

What a great ride!

I love riding, I need to do it more often.

This morning I thought I'd film a short bit of my ride to class. When the weather is good it is a nice ride.

A sandstorm ripped through Beijing today.

I have been in China now for about 3 months and I finally purchased my very own bike. Although its the middle of winter and I can't ride it that often it is still nice to own a bike. Beijing is the "Kingdom of Bicycles" and I LOVE IT. Now if it'll stay that way with car ownership on the rise I don't know but I hope it will.

After spending two weeks in Scandinavia and using many of the city bicycles I became a bit lazy in my bike riding. The standard bicycle in Europe is considered old-school in America. They are typical 1 or 3 speed cycles with *gasp* coaster brakes.

Yup that old-school pedal backwards style is all the rage throughout Europe.
