Cykelrum


Every Swedish apt. building has the Cykelrum. Basically bike storage for the building in the basement.
It's the whole basement floor, hundreds of bikes piled in these rooms. It was crazy and wish I had more
photos of the madness. Nothing really to crazy in the realm of what the bikes were. They were all pretty
interchangeable. Cruisers, Mix-ties, old world war era bikes, Mt. bikes., not too many road bikes or
Track bikes were seen on this trip.

The funniest thing about the Swedes, is how the care for their bikes.
They don't. The bike breaks, and they just get another one, don't think of getting
repairs done or learning themselves. It's not like they are highend bikes. The bikes
are like Wal-mart bikes or bikes handed down through the years and family member
to family member. However, they all ride and day everyday. The cities are based on the bicycle.
It was pretty cool to see that. A country where the bike is king, and you
ain't special cause you ride one. Everyone does.

Cykeloket!


So I'm gonna start jumping into this trip recap. I'm start off with the one of
the coolest things that happened. My cousin's, my Sister, Ben and I were doing a tour of
their hometown of Malmo by bikes (more on swedes and their bikes later), when I really needed
to adjust my saddle height. We were by a skatepark and I saw a workstand set up and folks
working on their bike. I asked to use their tools and Ben and kelly chatted the guy who was
running the spot. It turns out, it was called "Cykeloket" Swedish for "Bicycle Kitchen"!
The guy tells us a story and show us news clippings about how the place got started.
It was inspired by the LA Bicycle Kitchen! Ben speaks up at this point and says, "I'm one
of founders of that bike kitchen on LA" The guy was floored and it really shows what a small
world we live in. LA bike culture inspiring Swedish riders.





Pretty fucking cool.
