Reading blogs (cycling blogs not those torturous "how bad is my life"* blogs) is a great window onto pieces of kit you'll never own, approaches to fitness, bikes and bacon and different parts of the world. It's this last point that has my brain ticking over more than anything else, partly fuelled by a constant desire to travel but also because it feels like some blogs seem to exist within a dream world, a place where every street looks interesting and every dirt road is an adventure.
Exhibit A:
Just an ordinary street but there's so much crammed in there; a yellow fire hydrant, so much foliage, a boat and in the background some sort of offroad attack vehicle.
Exhibit B:
Doesn't that road just shout adventure? Ride along here and you may never come back. If you do come back you won't be the same person that first set out along here.
Exhibit C:
We don't have roads like that here. Full stop. Much less roads like that with such greenery alongside it.
Ah well one day, one day I'll set off on a ride in some foreign land and hanker for wet and dreary.
First couple pics from mod spot and last one from IF blog both of which are definitely worth a read.
