  • Ef maður er búinn að hjóla 16 km og labba 7 km í 26°C má maður aðeins


    Helmingurinn af hjólreiðunum er reyndar til kominn vegna þess að ég gleymdi leigða hjálminum og þurfti fara aftur að sækja hann.

    Var reyndar aðeins að spá í að borga frekar sektina, €50…

  • Bú hú!

    Ekki fokkings aftur! Bú hú!

  • Hné

    Dagurinn eftir #hjólaðívinnuna er besti dagur ársins til að verða slæmur í hnénu

  • Ástæða 364

    Ástæða 364 fyrir því að losna við bumbuna mína: Þar sem ég hjólaði heimleiðis í gær tókst bumbunni minni að aflæsa símanum í vasanum, opna facebook, finna nokkurra ára gamla brúðkaupsmynd af fyrrum nágrönnum og tagga bæði mig og konuna mína á myndinni

    (Algjör grundvallarmistök hjá bumbunni að tagga konuna mína líka. Ef Ance hefði ekki hringt öskrandi í mig hefði ég líklega ekki hugmynd um þetta prakkarastrik enn)

  • Hjólatúr

    Svona fyrst hjólin hrundu ekki af og særðu einhvern til ólífis þori ég að birta myndir. (við ókum 33km til að hjóla 6km og keyra svo 33km til baka)

  • Beðið

    Þetta verður annaðhvort stórbrotið eða mín hinsta stund

  • Útsýni

    Hjólað í vinnuna/góðgerðarmál

    A little excursion (a.k.a. taking the scenic route)

  • svo langt síðan ég hef hjólað að ég þurfti að gjugga í manúalinn fyrst :s

  • Bremsur

    Kemur í ljós að það er mun auðveldara að hjóla þegar bremsurnar eru stilltar til að bremsa bara þegar þú vilt bremsa, en ekki alltaf

    /Turns out cycling is way easier when you adjust the brakes so that they only brake when you actually want to stop instead of the whole time

  • beautiful day

    it’s easier to cycle 40 kms when you enjoy views like this along the way…

    Calm sea
    Calm sea

    Calm sea
    Calm sea

    for the third year in a row, siggimus survives cycle to work

    it is now five days since siggimus unmounted his trusty steed, & he has sufficiently recovered to bring you:

    ctw 2011 report, extended version

    in yet another victory of stubbornness and cantankerous determination, siggimus manages to cycle more than last year. last year he did a venerable 400,82 km, but this time around he went all the way up to 11 and turned in 528,42 km

    yes, ladies & gentleman, that is, by siggimuses reckoning, roughly half the way to the moon

    ctw 2011 in bullets:

    • turned in full house, 15 days, or 100%
    • going a total of 528,42 km
    • taking approximately 27 hours 13 mins and 15 seconds, or so to do it
    • which equates to roughly 19,3885950158155 km/h on average
    • that’s an average of 35,23 km per day
      • and 2 hours, 5 mins and 38 seconds per day on the bike
    • this is 21,23 km over the 14 kms it takes to get to work and back
      • each day
      • a total of 318 km over the 210 km required to get to work and back 15 times
    • that’s like going 35,2 times to work and back, in 15 days
      • or to use a bigger number, 251,63% more cycling than required to merely go to work and then go home again
    • 2 shortest days were 22,18 km
    • longest 2 days were around 60 km
      • first there was 58,9 km
      • then there was 61,22 km
    • there were bunnies, plenty of bunnies
    • mostly, the weather was beautiful
    • compared to 2010, this:
      • equals 100% in days
      • is 31,83% over the distance 400,82 km
      • longest day 61,22 km vs. 77,55 last year
    • compared to 2009, this is:
      • better than 85,7% in days
      • 129,28% over the distance 230,47 km
    • compared to colleagues this is:
      • fifth place, out of 41
      • 167,27% of the overall average of 315,9 km
      • 104,1% of the overall average of 14,4 days
      • still, only 52,89% of what the #1 dood did (1018,3 km! (he’s french!!))
    • the company ended up crushing the competition in its size group, plus:
      • placed 15 in number of days total, with 14,41 (all the other companies at the top have 8 employees or less, vs. our 41)
      • placed 3rd in total number of kms, with 315,9 (winner has 15 employees, 2nd place has 5)
    • took a few pics along the way. you’ll find everything cycle-related here, start by scrolling past this post

    now it’s your turn. tell siggimus he’s superhuman, that his stubbornness deserves a prize
