:: WHAT IMPRESSED ME, WHICH SONGS GIVE ME POWER AND A QUOTE, THAT`S NOT REALLY A QUOTE ::

1. Video that impressed me this week - The invisible bicycle helmet:

When I saw this, I said "whaaaat", but damn, it`s a nice idea! 

Check out more on their website here. You will want to have one, trust me. 

2. A list of songs that make me happy while I run, so I guess I can call them "my running songs". 

1.   The xx - You got the love (florence & the maschine cover)

2.   Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Can`t hold us feat. Ray Dalton 

3.   Feed me & Crystal Fighters - Love is all I got

4.   Netsky - Everyday

5.   Rudimental - Waiting all night feat. Ella Eyre 

6.   Flight Facilities - Crave you

7.   Beth Ditto - I wrote the book 

8.   Arctic Monkeys - R U Mine?

9.   Cage the Elephant - Come a little closer

10. Max Manie - Sunday (klangtherapeuten remix)

Of course I have tons of songs on my shuffle, but this ones are usually on repeat a couple of times. It`s funny how music gives me strength in the moments when I feel very weak, for ex. when I run long distances, music is much appreciated. Do you have your own power songs? (share please) :) 

3. A quote, that`s not really a quote 

Whatever it`s going on in your life, just don`t forget to breathe...

Oh, it`s a shitty weather for a Saturday, but let`s make something good out of it. I`ve got a lot of projects
going on right now, so I am a bit busy and super excited. December is coming, and I`m happy about it. 

That`s it. Tonight we have a small gathering, just some friends, some snacks, some drinks, happy thoughts, laughter, long talks.... you know, whatever goes with it. 

Enjoy your Saturday! 

Love, M.

:: KICKSTARTER PROJECTS - FLYKLY SMART WHEEL & CHIPOLO ::

I`m sure that from time to time, you go and check what`s going on on Kickstarter, right? :) Well, if you don`t, that`s ok, but you can find some really awesome creative projects up there!
I decided to share two of them with you guys, cuz they come from Slovenia and I really love the idea of both of them + come on, we`re so small & yet we have so many talented people! It`s only normal to give them some support, even though it`s just a post on the blog, or sharing the news about it... I`m sure that means a lot. So, if you have a talented friend with a good idea or you are super psyched (this came to my mind from an episode of a south park - not really relevant, but still...) about a project someone did, spread the word, be supportive, show some love! I`m sure they`ll appreciate it. ;)

I love this project, since my ride = my bike and this is an amazing idea with great solutions (check the video, to see what I`m talking about)!  ;)
Good job folx, let`s make cities people friendly! ;)

2. Chipolo - Bluetooth item finder for Android and Iphone

Ok, this really made me happy, since I`m "losing" my stuff all the time. All of my friends are laughing at me, cuz I`m constantly having panic attacks, because I don`t find my things, even though they are always where they should be - in my bag (btw I`m a sucker for large bags, which doesn`t really help me). :)
Anyhow, they got my attention and I`m definitely a happy (future to be) customer! ;)

|bike| :: WHO SAID CYCLING CAN`T BE STYLISH? ::

I live in a super small town, where cycling could be really fun, but people find it kind of weird + they have at least 10 excuses why it`s impossible to cycle to the office, market, coffee... (even if the office/market/shop is only 15 min away). Well, I think that the main problem is laziness (don`t be mad at me for saying it at loud) :) I still can`t understand why someone would prefer to go to the city center with a car, instead of using a bike or just walk (especially when they live like 10 min away). 

Anyhow, things are slowly changing and I`m happy for that. 

With this post I just wanted to share some of the photos I found, so I can show you how cycling can be stylish, fun & for sure healthy (for you and the nature)! ;)

So, grab your bike and cycle! ;)

:: CYCLING CARTOONS :: |by Dave Walker| ::

http://www.cyclingcartoons.com/

This cartoons are made by Dave Walker. He lives to the east of London, (OK, near Basildon, Essex, to be more exact), and have been drawing cartoons professionally since 2005. He`s been a cycling enthusiast for as long as he can remember, and used to race for a while back in the late 80s / early 90s. Dave enjoys all kinds of cycling – on the road, mountain biking, and  have a folding bike and a hybrid for getting around town. This is his first attempt at combining cartooning abilities with his love of cycling and I think he made a pretty good job! ;)

:: CULTURE EXCHANGE :: |Cafe & Bike Shop|

I already talked with you guys about our Novi Sad roadtrip in this post, where I mentioned that we found this amazing cafe, that I wanted to make a special post about it. 

Cafe/Bike shop - simple, yet astonishing. What`s there not to love? :)

So, I googled a bit more about it and found out they`re even cooler than I thought. According to the their website the team has 7 members. "It`s a group of talented, multi-cultural, and multi-ethnic young people and families brought together through their faith & in the hope of creating a better world."

While taking a coffee break there, we were lucky enough to meet Ana. I asked her about spending the New Year`s Ewe in the Cafe and she gave me her number. We called about 18pm on the 31st and we got a green light (even though we were sure it`s way to late), so we went there and had a blast with karaoke, cool people and great atmosphere. Thank you Ana for being so kind and letting us in! ;) 

Anyway, what exactly is Culture Exchange (http://cultureexchangeserbia.org/#home)? 

"Culture Exchange Serbia is a volunteer and non-profit association dedicated to inspiring others to step out and change their life, their communities, and their world for the better. We actively engage in grassroots projects to raise awareness for the benefits of multiculturalism, tolerance and understanding between all nations. Young people from Vojvodina and all over Europe have participated in our cultural and humanitarian initiatives."

Check their website and read all about it.  If you feel like supporting their work click here, I`m sure they`ll be more than happy/greatful and you will feel better as well. :) 

p.s. : The bikes <3 

p.s. II : Only last three photos are mine and the rest is from their facebook page.

*the only photo I managed to take for the New Year`s Ewe & even this one is blury. :) 

:: CARRY ALL YOU NEED TO GET YOU BACK HOME (MOPHA TOLL ROLL) ::

It`s amazing, it looks good and it`s really useful! ;)

If you wish to know more, go to their website or u can also visit their blog.

My friend yesterday said to me that I went totally girly with my blog (well I`m a girl, can u blame me?), so this supose to be more of a boyish thing, even though I wouldn`t mind having this toll roll on my bike as well! 

You can find some more cool bicycle things in my previous posts here (bike-able beer) & here (camper bike).

For all the stylish bikers out there! ;)
