Hi from Sweden
Hello!
My name is Klas, from Stockholm in Sweden. My old bike brought me here...I want to get it (and myself) in better shape and realized that I need to know more in order to get there!
I've haven't been riding it regularly for the last six years, when I began my career as a dad, but prior to that enjoyed many miles (kilometers...) on it - only for fun and excersice (spells how?).
So, now it feels like the right time to get back on track. And I'm starting right here!

Thanks! I have a Bridgestone RB-2, in need of new...everything! No pics, sorry, the bike's too dirty and waiting for a new drivetrain (I think that's the word, everything from the bottom bracket to the cassette on the rear wheel). Maybe when all is done I can produce a picture of it!

Well, I'll only be riding from home to work and back for starters! Meaning city. And the weather? We have all kinds, rather long winters and rainy summers. But loooong summer days as you would get when you're up north a bit. So, the weather conditions could be better for cycling, I guess!
