Today I mentally closed the Summer of 2008 chapter. It has certainly been interesting. A new blog, a new bike, new friends, new connections, park rides and picnics, errands, going out, bike interviews, weekend in Paris, Cycle Chic 24/7, trips, parties, just stepping out, and everything else that involves my trusted 2 wheeled friend.

Tour De Force
On Monday afternoon I went for a last tour through Paris, cycling around Montmartre, on Avenue des Champs-Élysées, around Place Charles de Gaulle, underneath the Eiffel Tower, across Montparnasse, along the banks of the Seine and oozing through 1 Arrondissement back to my friends’ house, then quickly catching my train back to Amsterdam. I edited [...]
Riding With Tiago
On Saturday I met up with Tiago from Ride’n’Desire to explore the city by bike. Tiago is a Portuguese expat, theater producer and bike tour operator in between gigs.

Paris (Cycle) Prepping
A last video post from Amsterdam before heading out to Paris. Extensive preperation is key…hehe.

A Paris Memo [update]
This Friday I’ll be off to Paris to spend a long weekend with friends. Obviously, there will be some cycling involved, the way that all you dear readers, viewers, subscribers and avid commentators (thank you!) have become accustomed to.
Over the last few weeks I’ve received great cycle video contributions from a few of you, which [...]
