We took a brave pill and did Paris on bikes. But only after doing a quick sortie the night before after which Nik made us wear helmets. Fair enough! Paris en Velo from KEEN Sargent on Vimeo. Continue reading Paris en Velo

In the past 3 days we have biked 53 kms and we have only climbed 10m (that was on a bridge over the motorway). I … Continue reading Differences
