Hey buddy ---- H & I are fine. Just returned from 12 days of skiing in the Rockies. I saw the speed skating stuff - bummer. That Sven fellow is an animal..... awesome!

Re ice hockey - we will prevail over our cousins to the south!

Oma & Opa Fiets are in the garage (hanging upside down like 2 bats). There is snow everywhere ( ;-( )

Sorry your GF had to return to the States --- I hope you get your train schedules in line - LOL

BTW - it took Disqus 23 hours to send me your comment.

Sue,

Good luck with your appeal. Those of us who love cycling and believe in the responsible use of freedom pray that the ignorance of those who rule us may be overcome. They just don't get it. (Wish they could get in fact-finding visits to Amsterdam and Copenhagen). In the meantime let's all stay normal, ordinary and human.
Again, good luck Sue.

Milo.

hey Les! Miss you too, buddy, how are you? CA-wise, I'm a bit down now, our speed skating hero Sven Kramer wasted a gold medal with an unfortunate error…equal to ice hockey, the whole country is in mourning…
other than that, have you been able to ride your Opa?

Thanks, Sue! Oh, I do notice :). Your quest is very impressive and to be applauded by anyone who cares about making cycling a normal means of transportation and sees through the fear mongering and counter-productive legislation. Good luck next week, will be crossing fingers!

next year amsterdam for sure on my european travels!! – you have no idea how jealous i am of all your cycling stuff which you probably don't even notice – i'm in the district court next week appealing my criminal conviction for riding a bicycle without a helmet – i am representing myself (i've finally finished law and have been admitted!!!) but i don't like my chances – however i am utterly committed to this quest of seeing australia repeal mandatory helmet laws, and no matter what the result i will continue (with the quest and cycling without a helmet!!!!)

thanks for your brilliant and inspiring blog!!

I always say, if you can walk in this weather, you can certainly cycle. :)

too bad you couldn't go to Workcycles, but great to hear about your experience, portugeezer. I do feel lucky, don't take it for granted, hence this blog :)

Hi didnt get to go to Workcycles but took a cycle tour – fantastic – was on Tuesday afternoon and the sun came out. Was great cycling around Amsterdam, so fluid and relaxing, a complete opposite to London! You are lucky to live and cycle there.

"It's never too cold to cycle here, if so many people can, you can too."

The people here wear hats and gloves and scarves and warm winter coats, though. Just sayin', come prepared.

Excellent, portugeezer, you won't regret it. It's never too cold to cycle here, if so many people can, you can too ;). Enjoy your visit to Workcycles and riding the Fr8…beware, it's going to be addictive ;)

Thanks, blisschick, I sensed the same only when I looked at it again on my computer, sometimes you go on instinct and hope for the best :)

Just been checking out this site and it is great – I live and cycle in London, how I wish it was like Amsterdam, I'm off to Amsterdam next Monday for a short visit – I want to go to Workcycles, I love the Fr8, and plan to do some cycling, if not toooo cold, great city to have the bike embedded into life like that, I wish London could be the same.

Love “Wheels and Silhouettes.” Such a magical feel, even though it's a perfectly ordinary moment.

John, thanks for that, you've also helped me pick the score for my next video (but I should've used it for this one ;)).

Listened to ' Tout Doucement' while looking at your monochromes. I think you peeked under the grey blanket perfectly, finding a glimpse of light on two wheels.
