A few years back when I decided to go clip less, I search for something that was easy to clip into and easy to learn to use. I don’t like the “proper cycling” shoes as you can’t just jump off your bicycle and have a walk as you please, so I was looking for MTB style cycling shoes.

When Peli came home today she heard the sound of running water. We soon narrowed it down to the pipes behind the shower and it was clearly coming from above.
I’m kinda sad that I didn’t use this blog to list our last problems with running water that wasn’t inside the pipes. Some of you might recall the great flood of 2007/2008 and the resulting lack of kitchen for a year and the bath room for around 3-4 months in 2008. Just because of the “wonderful” tenants upstairs who among …

… well at least make it so that your users can cross link to each others right away.
Google have just launched their own thing called buzz.google.com, some say it is the twitter/facebook killer, we will see. I do like the fact that it is integrated into my gmail, though I’m still waiting for it on the desktop but my iPhone can buzz already. I also like that I can “tag” my Buzz to a location and add pictures and from what I understand there is no 140 characters limit like …

The last few miles of a wonderful first ride of the year got ruined by a plonker. And now, after some hours thinking about what happened yesterday, I know that we should maybe have acted differently, since now it is too late. And I honestly can’t be arsed since the work from our side will be a lot and with some banging our heads against the wall for little effect towards the plonker. Such is the system today.
Here is a little background on why I did what I did last …

It is simple, why can’t we get on with it and do it ?
1/ If the global warming, running out of oil etc is wrong and we do have plenty and there is nothing worry about.
2/ It is real and we are running out of oil etc and world as we know it will die in the next 100 years.
No matter which one it is, it isn’t that hard to do anyway, why the heck aren’t we doing it. Because it will be good for us.

Last night we went to the O2 Arena in London out on the Greenwich peninsula. It was the first time out there so arriving on bicycle was a bit of a test.
No clear signs for a cyclist from Greenwich town centre and the closer we got we only got a dual carriage way and signs for the dome erm the O2’s parking lots, for cars that is. After been told at one car par that we couldn’t get in there, we doubled back and found a cycle path. This cycle …

Sorry this is showing my age. I’m from the old school of LEGO, back when the most fancy piece we had was a roof tile.
The joy of play with LEGO is to search for that bit you just saw two minutes ago but can’t for the life of you find again. And then because you could not find what you were looking for, you either built something else or swapped with your fellow Lego builder for the day.
Now this Kiwi company, Box4Blox, have come up with a Lego sorter, …

I found this one in my daily crawl on the internet. This is many ways correct, though you don’t have to be on your bicycle to make you feel alive a good walk in the local park will do the same. Do you really need to jump into your car to go to the shop for a pint of milk ?
I’m all for cars if we just use when thoughtfully and plan our journey ahead. Ask yourself can this journey be done on foot or on your bicycle before …

This comic made me think about the people I see in Richmond park very weekend.

If you can afford to strap your bling bicycle to you car, which quite often is bling too, why are you driving to a park inside London. And not outside London, say to the Surrey Hills or even further afield to do your afternoon ride.
And Richmond Park isn’t that far away from most of London so why not ride to the park. If the park is too far away for you to ride then you are …

 
Well no matter what you say the terrorist have won the war against us, we might as such not have lost and they are running wild among us. But try to do a bit of international traveling …
I can remember the day when you pretty much could walk strait unto the plane and off you went. 
I used to travel regularly between London and Paris in the Eurostar. Where I would walk up to the passport control show my passport, walk over to check in, told what platform and walk onto …
