I got me a new bike! Won’t bore you with the specifications, if you’re really interested check this link. Sufficient to say that I’ve chosen comfort over speed. Of course, this is the Netherlands, the most cycling country in the world, where 1 in 20 bicycles gets stolen every year, so I’ve got an insurance for the new bike. Am ready to hit the road. Hopefully the weather plays along a bit – I won’t cycle in icy conditions even on a quality Dutch bike like mine…
