So damn good! – Băneasa, Romania
A bit of non-Swedish statement, but that how it is! The birds are tweeting and I got to borrow a 29 inch carbon HT while the babysitter makes it possible to go together with my wife. So damn good! To cut it short… I’m thinking of adding another bike next to my sofa-style-of bikes […]
