a to-be city of cycling culture

Today I got a chance to share my opinion on cycling conditions in Riga within a short program for the national TV. I mentioned a list of things that should be taken care of to move closer to being considered as one of the bike culture cities: creating bike lanes to connect the districts with the inner city, keeping the roads in clean and good condition, ensuring that pedestrians and drivers respect the few bike lanes we have, placing more bike-parking racks in the city center and I could go on. Let's see who listens.
As to my own business, my bike got new bearings for the hubs and some other small adjustments; the spinning should go smoother. [26.03.13]
