open-air bike stations

If you want something badly and you go for it, you spend all your energy to get it or to make it work then it should, right? I hope so indeed, because when I see people working their asses off voluntarily, I want to believe that the gain will be worthy. Filming is exhausting (very), but it is also a lot of fun especially if it features bikes and awesome people. We want bicycle repair stations in Riga and we will get them! [29.04.13]

creative workshops

The morning begun with some worries, but the day soon cleared up. The view of the sunlit and nicely decorated terrace of KKC spread the feeling of "everything will work out just fine" and it did. The first Open Bikes event came about just as it was meant to: positive enthusiastic people posing questions and asking for advice, working on their bikes, using tools, sharing experience, listening, discovering, learning, creating and enjoying. Open Bikes is here to stay. [28.04.13]

tiny bit of blues

Dark, cold and rainy. Days like these have their charm. I believe they make us dive deeper into our thoughts and bring us to existentializing everything. Biking is quite a torture today, but I do it twice anyway. [27.04.13] 

Riga Bike Week has begun

The Riga Bicycle Week grand opening at the friendly backyard of Piens was cozy despite the sudden cold. The bike market, the minidrome race, the music, the people and even the sometimes-annoying BBQ and bonfire smoke was a perfect mix for a perfect atmosphere. Thanks to my four fearless girls for the impressive competition :) Looking forward to May 1! [26.04.13]

chase your daily little dreams

In the morning I walked out the door and realized that I had forgotten to take my bike. Is my head in the clouds? Later on it was, literally. I finally went to chase the long-ago-desired bird's eye view :) My hair fighting with brisk wind, the mind entering another dimension, the lips smiled. [24.04.13] 

anything can happen

Today's weather with a somewhat melancholic hint fits my mood perfectly. Rare drops are falling from the dark grey sky; the ride over the bridge is refreshing and wakes me up. The air is fragrant with rain. Even the music on the radio suits the atmosphere. 

The more options you view as a possible outcome, the less the chance of disappointment, so be prepared for anything, but keep the positive above the rest. [23.04.13]

blue blue blue!

The blue of the sky reflected in the water creating another blue and the burning yellow-orange-red of the setting sun makes the soul sing and believe in the best. If you are meeting your bike friends randomly in the chill hot spots of Riga it means that the summer-mood life has begun.[22.04.13]
