  i know it's the nature of this thread, but i'd defy anyone to wake up to this and not have a good day.

  anyone using these regularly with the ny fah mini? how do you find the comfort/weight? i've been using a new york chain and disc lock for ages but i reckon that the fah mini coupled with a fabric horse will be both more secure and lighter to carry around. i've always had the chain and lock around my waist and am well used to it at this stage. i just think i could do better on all counts.

  i am staying in Friedrichshain any tips for round there?

  i think boxenhager platz is a little over rated and over priced (no offence!) depending on what you're after, there's a strip of clubs/open air spots along revaler strasse. you should definitely go for a swim in weissen see. it's just up the road and a great laugh. volkspark freidrichshain is deadly also.

  the berlin unlike website is worth a check for restaurants and the like. we didn't do much restauranting when we were there as we were destitute (but with bikes and a gaff!)

  planning on doing some touring over the summer with a four-day stay in berlin towards the end of july.

  can anyone recommend any bike friendly hostels in the city? ideally we'd like to be in kreuzberg near Schlesisches Tor.

  my absolute favourite part of the city too. i don't think i've ever seen an establishment in berlin that isn't bike friendly.

  i've never stayed here but lots of friends have. they all thought it was the business, well cheap (i'd advise renting an apartment on craigslist - but some people like their hotels and hostels and the like) and is exactly where you want to be.

  That's the fella... Lish...

  i doubt you can get them here, but king crisps (also irish) are a far superior crisp even to tayto. i miss them so much. i'm going to horse a few packs into me when i arrive back to ireland this evening!

  walkers are pure tasteless, processed shite and mccoys tend towards the synthetic chemical flavours. i don't understand why no one else can sort out a decent cheese and onion crisp. do walkers use bleach on their potatoes or what?
