2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

[Stefan Mikes]

I love watching @Chargeride's productions on YouTube as these are very well made, informational and interesting (like, The Bosley Ride). I even read more to learn about the 2015 accident!

Meanwhile in Poland...

Deposit bottlemats seem to have started working

The Empire Strikes Back I wouldn't expect finding Marmite in a Polish supermarket but Colman's Mint Sauce was even more surprising!

Pedestrian crossings (zebras) being lit by bright LED lanterns...

As I was pedalling back home, I was almost run into by two crazy youngsters riding illegal e-scooters at a very high speed. Several seconds later, I heard a police car siren Instant karma, innit

Oh, Poland is a good country to live!

Marmite is for people who find Guinness too sweet.

The Poles who've tried Marmite are divided into exactly the same two camps I gave both Marmite and Bovril a month of chance and lost the battle However, the same applies to Lakrids, the Scandinavian liquorice/salmiak sweets. (As you know, the English cuisine is exotic to me, and I like many of its inventions!)

Living in a first world country allows me to be soaked in the riches of gluttony by walking down the road with just a working mans wallet.
It has eroded my wonder to the point where Im choosing food based on how quickly I can eat it.

Eurovision time!
Ive followed this guy for years, a sort of nerd, hipster, electronic mad scientist.
Anyway hes our entry and I havent worked out the message yet hidden in Europopvision.
I cant decide if hes mocking or celebrating.
It seems pro european, nothing special, but a nice change from our usual efforts.
Probably the first youtuber weve entered

He does live diy synth shows that are chaotic but entertaining.

This forum needs a quote thread.

Did you get a replacement? How's it going?

hurt it a year ago...I think the first misplaced cortisone shot burned up hamstring insertion. finally got it drained and a nerve ablation. Steps a challenge. rode 15 miles today with no pain until the walk from barn. A great, great day for riding...
