Tijmen's Bikes and Related Projects

I am! And we're a strictly kijken kijken niet kopen household, so no axe needed. The shirt's an acne workwear simulacrum anyway.

Simlångsdalen in Sweden, the furthest we could get into Sweden with one day of public transport. 15 hours consisting of 1 tram, 3 trains, 1 bus. Only an hour Verspätung, so pretty good going.

Kijkkijkennietkopen but Acne FESJON?! Doesnotcompute.gif.
Great idea! You took the bridge at Malmö? Often quickest is the ferry at Rostock from our parts of Germany but that ain't public.
Enjoy the wilderness.. My plan is jungle in two months time. We've all gotten over our flight shame post COVID didn't we?

I also now spot the liebegrüße cap. Didn't spot it at first because camouflage.
That gift still is in solid rotation with my ex-gf, thanks again for the unintended tip!

I've not really looked at the ferry properly, but I don't think it would have been much faster. Have to say flight shame is still on over here, but I'll have to get over it soon.

Content creation is back on.

Helsingør/Gurre

Helsingborg is Sweden!

I keep mixing them up! I had a short fright when Maps said it would take 4 hours by train but I looked at the wrong one. Both very cute towns. I had planned to cross there anyway because the ferry looked way more exciting and not much slower than the Malmo bridge.

Bikes on the Øresund train can be a bit of a pain, you haven't missed anything. The smaller of the 2 ferries is quite something on the weekend: they have entertainment and people of a certain age basically use it as a bar, not to actually cross to the other side.

Are you staying in Copenhagen for a bit?

test ride a mini velo.

You buying one then?

We were on the smaller one, it did have an impressive bar for such a tiny boat. Much nicer experience than the boring big car boat. We're here without bikes, too much time on trains to faff with bikes and my dear partner doesn't care much for riding anyway.

We'll be here till Wednesday. Tuesday morning yoga is actually very close to the Omnium store, should you happen to be around? I'll send you a DM with my number!

I do hope to own one sometime.

Unfortunately I labour in suburbia at HQ.

Sliding in your DMs though.

Home! Last couple days were a bit of a whirlwind. Copenhagen is amazing, I badly want an Omnium Mini now. Even though @Lolo told me they're not actual cargo bikes. I also had a great time dropping by the don of the Denmark cycling industry and maker of amazing veggie burgers.

And I did a pretty cool bag for Carbel Colours who painted the 🐊. The paint on this one is in progress now.

Between the cat and Mads updates, this is all I need! 💚

Great content and beautiful bag

Good to see Hulsroy rocking the Mitutoyo.

This is the way

Workshops, some nice film looking like tourist photos, Cats and ingenious beautiful bags?
Top-notch content!

I also fell victim to the great T-rex fit hypnosis of late 10s LFGSS. But the Huls with a much more normal reach actually feels great, so I'm going to try a long stem on the white bike and see how that feels. That'll be a good first step, next step is switching the flats back to ATACs and then if things feel remotely okay I'll get a bike fit.
