No. 483 / 2012

Stepped into Gamla Stans Cykel (my local bike shop) this afternoon, my goal was to buy a new set of pedals with SPD mechanism to go with my new SPD shoes. I mounted them right there in the shop and then tried them out. I looked at the rack sack in the store, and have now decided to use one on my soon to be attached back rack.
I mentioned to one of the bike shop owners that I had been thinking of upgrading to a Brooks saddle, but that I was very pleased with my standard issued Brompton saddle. After all, I have ridden over 3000km on it.
Ten seconds later I am the proud new owner of a Brooks B17 select World Traveller Limited edition 2012 saddle! Gamla Stans Cykel was kind enough to sponsor me with a new saddle, which I now have a couple of weeks to break in! 
Nedless to say, I'm very grateful to have such great support!


Brooks is only making 2012 saddles,
mine is number 483 out of the lot.

The Stockholm–Oslo clip!

Below is the movie Nick and I created combining some of the clips taken during our four day adventure from Stockholm to Oslo in June 2011.
