All these bikes… I hardly know how many bikes I have but still I have no bike for a regular trip to the shop for some groceries. So I start looking for a bike with fenders and some kind of rack to carry stuff and come across this beauty second hand: It’s a Crescent […]
Road biking was a cure for me getting back in the saddle after a downhill accident, but I started to like it and nowadays it forms a good complement to all the off-road biking. But… I had never tried peloton riding, or riding in a group. So when Janne asked if I wanted to join […]
The 6-year old is eager on biking and we decide to make a short film. We set out for Kvarnberget – The Mill Mountain and get going. The new-for-the-day-CamelBak comes is appreciated As well as taking a break to climb trees… Anyway… The film… Here it is – edited on his demands:
Paul from Australia is in Sweden and I get the pleasure to show him what Winter biking is like. Last time we rode together was in the heat in Daisy Hill. This time the conditions are slightly different. One thing we learnt after me crashing into a tree in Daisy Hill was the value […]
Some pics and clips from three different winter rides. Brand new spike tires: Not much light but precious Kristian and Janne at a frozen lake Kristian: Trying those tires on pure ice: Kristian and Janne again: And some selfie clips:
Maybe not a Mountain but for sure a Resort. The hill is only a little bit more than 100 meters above the surrounding landscape but the place is more than okay.

Well… same place as last post, but this time without lifts and on lighter bikes. No specific plan for were to go but in this weather we reckon that pretty much any trail will be good As a reminder of the winter season, patches of snow still glow in the sun in what is […]
It’s family vacation with Downhill on the agenda and I was not part of setting it up (!). We are talking Sälen, Sweden. This is the place where Swedish kids learn skiing and everybody has been. I haven’t… It’s right here: I have to confess that I was a bit nervous getting into bike […]
Both the New Year’s party and the hangover is over. Janne and Kristian with their twin bikes show up first Then Micke, having done 2 hours in the car. We start off with the coastal trails around Ölmanäs. Hard to believe, but we have past the darkest day of the season and are heading for […]
Back in Sweden and back on the favorite trails. This time the landscape is dressed in white. The snow is fresh and came after a period of warm weather so the surface could be icy as well as wet in muddy sections. 5 of us chose studded tires and one didn’t. Hard to tell […]
