Orange Juice, the Central Station, Stockholm ...


A dull early morning in early April at the Central Station in Stockholm. Waiting for the train to Gothenburg. I sipped my orange juice and read that the most eco-friendly transport is going by train ... :

"During a one-way trip between Stockholm and Gothenburg an average car gives off an average of 44.5 kilos of carbon dioxide into the air.
An entire SJ train with up to 300 passengers gives off four hectograms.
An airplane creates 6 tons of carbon dioxide."

God, I was glad I was going by train. And I didn't mind it was half and hour late ...

Bike Skeppshult! Did I tell you?


Did I tell you of my new bike?

Here it is ... a brand new Swedish made Skeppshult Nova bicycle!
I bought it at Cykloteket at Norra Station in Stockholm last Saturday. I think I was in the store for about two hours trying different bikes, looking at the latest bike-gear, discussing pro's and con's with the guy helping me around. At last I made up my mind. I went for this Nova Skeppshult!
Skeppshult is the very best Swedish brand on the market at the moment, the guy said. And he's right, it's sweet to bike. And steady. And perfect for going shopping.

Yes, I'm joining the bikers in Stockholm.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you - I'm so proud!
