Riding the slow bus back to work. King of Fixed 2012 has ended and so has the Helsinki Bicycle Film Festival for me. The weekend has been awesome – sun, bikes and movies. I think every night I have slept an hour less than the night before because of all the things to do. I’ll ...
This year the Bicycle Film Festival will be held for the first time in Finland. The same weekend the Helsinki members of Yksivaihde.net also have their annual King of Fixed (abbreviated KoF) competition.

Kaikki opiskelustressi on kai pikkuhiljaa purkautumassa – tai sitten työstressi on taas alkamassa. Olen ollut lomalla syyskuusta asti ja suorittanut rästiin jääneitä opintoja pois.
