  1. It was a complicated day for logistics. Note the motorcycle helmet in the bike bag in the back of the taxi with my folding bike.

    Honestly, I don't know how some car-free and low-car people get by without folding bikes.

  2. Crap! A Burley Travoy isn't supposed to fold this way. Any advice on how to repair this?

    NB: Replacement parts will be hard to get in Madagascar, but good mechanics are plentiful.

  3. In a previous life I was a bike light specialist. And then I couldn't find any good lights in Madagascar. Suddenly this supermarket (Super U) has a great selection.

    Reminiscent of Planet Bike products.

  4. Not to name drop, but I knew Doozy, the Instagram celebrity dog who died recently.

    I have a sticker to prove it. Condolences from Madagascar.

  5. Appearantly the battery in my #garmin bike computer doesn't like temperatures around -10°C it reported 25% left and then it suddenly died on my comute to work this morning.

  6. It's no longer called the Museum of Transport, but they've still got their choppers. (Riverside Museum, Glasgow, Scotland. Photo by permission of Kenneth McIlvenny).

    What's with the gazelle though?

  7. The end of my roadside mechanic saga. The patch-on-a-patch didn't work out. I changed a tire and tube myself.

    I love my Schwalbe Green Marathon tires. This one was more than 5 years old.

    I have one more spare, so... Sometime in the next 3–5 years I reckon I need to replace it. I don't think I'll find them in Madagascar. If anyone is coming, send me a message.

  8. Another roadside bike mechanic shop in Antananarivo. (My tube repair from the same morning didn't take.)

    The mechanic was out of the office. A traffic cop called him on his phone and he was there in 5 minutes. See the tin shed on the left? I think he lives there.

  9. I had flat tire on Friday. Did I worry? Did I fix it myself? No and no. I've learned to have faith in the abundance of roadside mechanics. Less than 1 km away...
