Hi everyone, just back from three weeks in Poland-Ukraine. Wow! Hard to explain the blowout that was. I went to Ger-Den in Lviv, Ukraine. Unforgettable experience.

I have been to both countries a few times in the past 15+ years but I gotta say the most noticeble thing for me was how many more casual cyclists were out in Ukraine. In 1995-ish I never saw many bikes, now they are everywhere. In poland the bike commuter scene is amazing, I sat having beers with a friend in Warsaw and just watched bike after bike go by. (It's hard to be sitting here in the office btw..)

So back in the saddle, hot as can be, and I forgot to bring my lock.
