The change comes when you need it and the world knows when you do. Every new part of a lifespan brings unseen things, places, people, impressions and sure, bicycles with it too. A gradual transformation and evolution is healthy. You have to learn to let go and be open to the replacing ones. I can feel the phases of my path switching; I am ready to say goodbye to my dear old bike and fall in love again with my new ride, my fantasy, my Bombtrack. At the end, the old one is not going to be thrown into a dark corner and forgotten, but that is another story. Boys come and go, bikes come and go, but there will always be unmeasurable space for the ones that are meant to stay. [22.07.2013]
One of my summer wishes was to go on a bike trip to a place I had never been before. A ride along the sea, preferably. Stepping the grounds of places for the first time brings the feeling of expanding my horizons, literally, covering the planet with my steps. We went from Liepāja to Nida, Palanga, Klaipēda. Many smile-and-laugh-worthy happenings arose. Some troubles did too. But the greatest avowal is that Lithuanians can be very happy with their bicycle lanes and that cycling brings the right people together. [13.07 - 15.07.2013]
Riga is growing, evolving, changing and making me happy. New bicycle lanes, new promenades, parks, outdoor cinemas and more - things I have dreamed to see here for a long time. [10.07.2013]
Fixing old bmx bikes can bring many surprises, bad and frustrating, mainly. You have to learn to fight disappointment after disappointment and move forward conjuring new solutions. This time it was the seat tube that behaved badly. The project is in progress. Or stagnation? Anyhow, I do not give up yet. And Open Bikes is a perfect place for projects like this one - all the tools you need and people who can help. [02.07.2013]
