Everyone in Malmo gets around on a bike and as I am walking miles each day we figured I could see more in less time on a bike. We looked into hiring one but it worked out cheaper to buy a second hand one so I have! Sweden uses a site called Blocket which is like an ebay within the country and she was advertised on there. She is really beautiful and I feel like a real local zooming around on her. It’s been many years however since I passed my cycling proficiency at school and my road sense is a little shaky, especially when you consider they drive on the wrong side of the road here! Where there are special Bike lanes I’m away but when it comes to any big junctions I still have to get off and walk across the road! Mark is hiring a bike on Sunday so I’ll try and build up my confidence following him. Brenda may seem like an odd name but our Vauxhall car was named Vince so it seemed to work.
