Naming, not shaming and bike delivery status

I’ll start with the cute and not bike related, we now how a name for our babygirl, Saga Josefiina:
saga_josefiina_2013_04_12

Then the bike information:
Dear Sir and Madam,

We have just received a shipment order to you from POISON BIKES GMBH
To check the current status of your shipment, please click on the link below

I guess that means my bike is headed for Sweden, this is going to be awesome!

Delays, delays delays..

Random ranting, I never got a confirmation that my bike was sent on Wednesday, so I sent a mail asking, turns out its not ready, it might get ready tomorrow, guess I’ll be lucky if my bike comes next week (I need it before I start working again!)

 

 

Not a biking post per se

Our daughter got born before my new bike is delivered, everything is going according to plan!

Born Sunday 7th of April, 02:52 am
She weighed a healthy 4190 grams and was 52 cm long.

Fun thing about the day, I prepared my old bike for retirement, even if my new one comes next week first, so the old Occano is scrubbed and rubbed and almost shining!

First week of April, info from Poison Bikes

Easter is over and it’s been four days of work this week!
First up the boring numbers from my week of commuting to work!
It’s all based on numbers from my recordings with runkeeper, so they are most likely not 100% accurate xD

Number of days biking to work: 4
The distance I biked this week: 
133,06 km
Total climb: 1697 m
Calories Burned: 5376 kcal

All rides the shortest route to work, if you want to see the route it’s linked >here<

Now back to the good part:
I sent a mail on Friday asking about the delivery of my new bike from Poison, and this is what I got:

I guess it’s soon time for me to write a review of the company and order process! (then later on I’ll write how I feel my bike has been)

Can it really be spring?

Well, almost spring I guess, this week has been the first week of almost no winter clothing.
Morning temps from -2°c to -0.8°c, most of the ice is gone from the roads, some roads are even cleaned of gravel!

Anyway, this morning I took a different route to work, nothing major, just sort of a right where I usually go straight ahead and take a left, ended up finding a nasty hill, lots of shadow with lots of ice and not really any gains at all.

To end the post, here is some pictures I stopped to take, of my bike:

March month in a post

New month, new adventures, but first of all, recap of March!
It’s been random weather and road conditions, the basic winter chill (all the way down to -12°c, snow and ice) to warmer weather and lots of water (dont forget the “pinch” of salt and gravel).

march2013-RK
Recap from my runkeeper page, 426km of comuting, not bad considering the weather, about 200km less then a average summer month!

Also I got my new backwheel last week, so now I dont get the “dunk-a-dunka” wibble wooble feeling when I ride, my old one moved about 1-2cm sideways and was shaped like a egg, there was also some loosness in the body aparently.

Anyway, come April with warm spring weather (hopefully), a baby any day now and in a week or two the new bike, exciting times ahead!
