If a system becomes weak enough and the opposition divided enough, if the ruling order is corrupt enough and people are angry enough, extremists can suddenly step into the center, where no one expects them. And after that it can take decades to undo the damage.

Looking at videos showing Canyon bike unboxing and assembly. Looks practically like IKEA. Pretty amazing. I'm super tempted, even this late in the year.

Perhaps nothing government does, or will not stop doing, should be surprising in a country in which a Kansas bank was fined because it did not have Braille instructions on the ATM machines in its drive-through banking lanes.

Lipiec na rowerze

Zapraszam na kolejne podsumowanie miesiąca, pełne zdjęć zrobionych w trakcie i doprawione porcją statystyk.

Popływałem, zjadłem śniadanie, złożyłem obóz i jadę. Nie odzywałem się, bo chciałem zajechać jak najdalej, zanim zacznie się palnik. Zdążyłem dojechać do Piły, gdzie wsiadam do pociągu i szybko wracam z wakacji do domu...

A raczej wsiadłbym, gdybym nie był sobą xD

W rzeczywistości jestem w Pile dlatego, że wybrałem dłuższą drogę do domu, którą i tak chyba jeszcze przedłużę odbijając w Kaczorach na Chodzież.

Dzisiaj tylko 85 kilometrów w planach, ale w większości poza utwardzonymi drogami. Trzeba się ruszać, zanim zacznie się palnik. #bikepacking #Canyon #Grizl

Canyon recently unveiled the Exceed CFR Gravel.

Which is both an awesome concept (ask how I know ) and yet kind of a bluff package.
And limited in two ways: There's only 200 to buy and they reduced the front suspension travel significantly.

Also: it's neither a real CFR frame nor has the bike you can buy this Rockshox SID FA.
Read my take (and my recommendation) in my newest blog:

Sezon na przydrożne czereśnie właśnie się kończy, ale na pociechę mamy wiśnie i maliny, a już niedługo będzie można pachtować kukurydzę na zupę.

I jeszcze dudka dzisiaj widziałem, pierwszy raz na żywo.

I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

Czerwiec na rowerze

Zapraszam na podsumowanie rowerowego miesiąca ze zdjęciami z tras i garścią statystyk.

The last #night was a #NightRiders blast!💥

Still on the #RoadBike, but that’s fine. A little cobblestone here and there doesn’t bother me and we didn’t go off-road in the darkness!🫣
