Heard of those "shadow fleet" tankers recently damaged in the Black Sea? Russia had to move her Black Sea navy to the seaports in the east because... Are you sure those got impounded? (St. Catherine Quay, Londongrad, July 2022).

Stomp, our tragedy is the market here is still unprepared for the system. Yes, you can get the payout anywhere if the bottlemats existed but it is coming very slowly.

No, it is not because of any fines. Poles learned keeping the home country clean. It is just not right to litter the country. "There's no such a place as London. It is Lądek, Lądek-Zdrój..." :D See the totally clean roadside (except for some twigs brought there by the wind). Such a clean...

It's Putin's narrative. It is just the opposite. Russia attacked an independent and peaceful country Ukraine in 2014 and 2022. Ukraine gave up her nuclear weapons in 1990s and got security guarantees, worthless as usual. Since the Putin's rule, numerous countries were attacked by Russia, and it...

I didn't experience tyre flats for years. Recently, I got a way more flats than expected. Why suffer? The only issue is I need to share the pump between two e-bikes: it's easy to forget moving it from bike to bike! I might carry the e-pump in my small backpack or inside the hydration pack...

It might be my own fate, soon. Poland has introduced a deposit-refund system for plastic and glass bottles as well as cans; a similar system has worked in Germany for many years. Meaning, I have accumulated a big number of such bottles in big plastic bags. Will need to carry them to a collection...

Yep. On illegal overpowered derestricted Chinese scrap metal contraptions with throttles :) You needed 50 km/h to lift the glider.

Just ordered a Cycplus pump as a Christmas gift for myself 😊

The brakes on my Vado SL are the most reliable of what I've ever got.

Makes sense :) The friend who regularly makes potato soup lives in Suwałki (Sudovia) near to Belarus and Lithuania :) Please read on the Suwalki Gap :) I was on two gravel races in the area :)

Hey, Charge, I sometimes think of your mysterious post. What countries you believe have the potato soup? I asked my friends. Some of them have never had such soup. Some had it once a year. Some of them cook the soup on a regular basis. I haven't had potato soup since my youth. So? :)

Unless something is terribly wrong, you just loosen a big bolt that holds the caliper, depress the brake lever, keep it depressed and then tighten the bolt. There might be something such as a warped or bent brake disk of course.

I only want to remind you almost half of voters wanted to Remain. It's just ridiculous to decide on such serious matters by simple majority, while it should have been the constitutional majority (2/3). Simply saying, Breciteers tried selling their own country to Russian oligarchs. "We don't...

Something is substantially wrong there Jeremy.

I was lucky as the whisky bottle label clearly read: "Made in Ireland" :) Once, I was such an eejit as I had eggs in my baggage while travelling from Finland to Poland by air :) It was before the "liquid limits" but the eggs broke in the Helsinki airport anyway :) Which reminds me of my (late)...

DŻIZASKRAJST.

Meanwhile, I was on two short rides. First, to collect the parcel with "the last Mirrycle in Europe" (it came to me from France in less than 3 days!) The second ride was to adjust the rear-view mirror. It seems that Mirrycle has improved the mirror design: the horizontal arm is shorter, making...

I wanted to write something especially for you Charge but decided not, to save your day. I will write it now: I feel you live in a dis/information bubble. A little travel abroad might change your views. Poland the next summer? :)

I used to buy stuff from the UK before Brexit went full force. It is pointless now. On unrelated note, I had a both scary and funny experience at the Warsaw Modlin WMI airport customs on my return from Dublin via London Stansted. I was stopped by Polish customs who told me to open my suitcase...

He could say all what he wanted.
