Introducing myself

Mmm yes, but what to say. Well let's follow what the sticky says

Where are you from?
I am from Stockholm, Sweden, and here I live.

What do you ride?

Well, it wasn't that expensive to buy second hand, and the bikeshop had fixed it up, but I don't remember what it's called. And I'm to lazy to get up from this chair to check...

How long have you been riding?
Well, commuteing just the last weeks, but a bicycle has been fair in my life from when I was 6... And at least sometimes a year I have used it.

Anything else we should know about you?

Should you? What would that be.

Well acctualy it's a Rex Country, and I did know that before. I just thought it was named something more...

The question is, how many of you know that bike manufacture, as I think they are/were fairly Swedish only (;

I had a wonderful vacation in Norway and Sweden in 1966, spending a week in Stockholm. I hope it hasnt changed too much since then.

I have to admit that I have never heard of a Rex Country, so I think we will need photos...

Definitely a new one to me!

Can you translate what the writing says?

ah yes, the world carfree network stickers. They simply say "One car less" in Swedish

Ah yes after the Rex part it says "The bicycle manufactures from Halmstad" (well something like that, and that part is quite hard to read)
