Dear Scandinavia


I always liked Scandinavian countries. It is my dad's influence, I guess. Their mentality toward functionality attracts me most. Somewhat like Germans, yet more harmony with nature. At least that is what I think.

There are a few garages that makes custom bike there as well. Wenchmonkees, Marcus and all. In Denmark, there was a bike manufacturer, Nimbus. I am sure that I am missing something...It is fun to look at those guys' custom bikes but they are talked about elsewhere a lot.
I like their good looking, friendly women most.

The only thing I would not like would be the cold long winter there.


Speaking of good looking, friendly women,
The Danish Road Safety Council has experimented this approach to slow down the traffic a few years ago. I have no idea they are still doing it, but I would sure slow down. I think that their approach probably cause accidents before slowing them down. 50km/h is not real fast.... It is like 31mph...Hard to keep it if you are on a great bike.

I would love to visit there during the Summer of course...Although seeing the sun in midnight might be nice at least once
