I know there must be lots of good bicycle stories out there. If you’ve got a special, crazy, different, especially nice, funny or even sad bike memory, please share it with me by e-mailing elin@putthefunbetweenyourlegs.net. Write on, in Swedish or English, and name is optional so it can be completely anonymous! To know your age and country could be sweet though...

Fancy promoting something you like and get paid for it?
Yup, now it’s possible, at least in my hoods. A brand new little company called Bikertize in Uppsala are offering cyclists to ride with ads (that you chose yourself among the companies) With no hassle at all: they mount it for you. I chose to support my dear box where I workout:

(Getting a little crazy doing a one handed bike lift.)

The basket is also part of the deal, exciting news for my good old grocery-shopping-bike.
The benefits? All depends on the company you support. You receive something worth between 50-300 SEK per month. I got… a T-shirt :)
If you live and bike in Uppsala and like the sound of free pizza or a discount on high quality running gear, sign up on Bikertize’s website and off you go!
Happy New Year Everyone! These photos are from last year -we haven’t had any good snow this winter in Uppsala/Stockholm.
But I guess the good thing with a mild winter is that it is very bike friendly indeed.
yihaa, here’s a film i put together last nite showing me and my man’s little autumn ride the past weekend. i don’t go out riding for the sake of riding that often but now we hit the woods. he’s on the bike i got when i was 11. it’s still going strong, has 5 gears and is oh so useful (bicycles with handlebars like this never get stolen in sweden, as thieves seem to have passion for vintage bikes or new cool ones). so, speaking in terms of “which bicycle should one have?”… in the end this 90’s handlebar-fat-tires-bicycle is one of the best bikes i ever had.
p.s if anyone knows which format to use for better quality let me know! youtube won’t let me upload DV (this is AVI).
