Yeah, that’s one thing I learnt in the States. Let’s get through its first week’s lessons. The passport controls were nothing special. I mean, I was checked like, one time in Warsaw, three times in Zurich, and nothing less than 6 times in Los Angeles (further on, LA). But all of them were routine. First […]

Et tenebrae lūcem non conprehenderunt
Leon, I have more arts for you. If you really want to see Kraków for real, you should come to visit me – once more. Now, after you wrote such thing as… Oh, wait, you wrote it on Juanjo’s reference! That thing about me of knowing every corner of Madrid and now of Kraków, you know; […]
„… A to Polska właśnie…”
Leon, I have something for you. Do you remember Mehoffer? And these things? Well, now compare to this Turns out that these artists just make the drawing sketches, and then a glass expert produces it. You know, chain production. And I found the original sketches alongside plenty of other stuff you – English plural you – […]
Between Adventures & Routines
My normal life is like living on holidays. And everybody needs holidays from their normal lives. So, maybe sometimes I need holidays from my holidays? Or do I need normal holidays? Or a normal life? Or no holidays? No holidays from holidays or from life? Oh dear… Last bike trip gave me a lot of thought, […]
Sono – ma no siamo – arrivato
N: 40km done so far, now I have some easy 30km, then 10–15km of shit and I’m in Arezzo. There I’ll have 100km of pure flatness so I’ll check how much time I have before sunset. Now I’m eating in a spagetteria, fabulous carbonara for 5€. How are you doing? L: Food is scarce, all […]
“Che cazzo guarda!?” – Cruising through Toscana
Last Monday was a very memorable day. What an absurdly long, mountainous, surprising, gruesome day, so exhausting that my quadriceps halved their length out of tension, my brakes boiled eggs out of heat, my water bottles expanded out of pleading for water, my sweat glands digi-evolved into fountains, and I’m going to stop with the […]
A region I disregard
Ok, let me just complain for once. Complaining is healthy. Studies says that your little toe hurts less when you smash it if shouting curses out loud, so complaining should have a similar effect. I did not enjoy Liguria. Let’s start with the nice side. A coastline of cliffs along that Mediterranean Sea we all […]
Les Invalides arrived to Turin
You will have to excuse us. The last week was kind of over-demanding. We cycled day and night, we ate quite the minimum, we slept in the floor, in the most marvellous grass that rendered every other grass un-tent-able, we crossed the Alps, we broke personal speed records, we got a Crash Course Italian Culture, […]
More pictures than in the Kunstmuseum Bern
Because you will be dissapointed by the Kunstmuseum in Bern, we prepared something for you. A Gallery of a bike trip. Click and enjoy. PS: Luca, thank you for the Absinthe!
Smuggling into Absinthe-land
And in just one innocent, harmless, typical day, we just broke our high peak record: that of the Brocken, at 1142m, was surpassed by a wild and secluded mountain pass, that of the contrabandists, up to 1246m; we could have probably been a metre higher, but the quicksand-mud buried our wheels for long. But no […]
