I have been reading bike forums for quite a long time and i thought i might say hello to everyone and thank you for being a cyclist.

I live in Tunisia, a small country in north africa.

Not many people ride bicycles around here, mostly cars. No bike lanes either, but it's probably better that way.

My previous bike had a frame made by Serge Mannheim, Campagnolo Athena components and a 3T Paris-Roubaix handlebar. I took the components and installed them on a cheap Decathlon 7.1 i bought by chance 2 years ago.

I had an accident six years ago. It was my fault. After a general bike overhaul, the rear light stopped working and i was careless enough to forget to buy a new one the next day. The driver didn't care to stop and help either, but i made it to a nearby gas station.. My helmet probably saved my life, now i have a nice scar on my face to remind how lucky i have been.

It took me 6 years to be ready again to go back on two wheels.

I hope we will make our planet a better place to live in.
