Asia fixed gear tour with Mo (Keirin) – “2 Bikes in Asia”. Documented our trip online with regular updates – an early Blog! Highlights included wiping out my 1st bike in Tokyo in an Alleycat. Adios, Enik ex-German National Team frame! Bought an NJS Enei and slapped all my Campagnolo Record Pista parts on it! We rode through Japan, China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Hit an evil pothole riding at night in Vietnam, and cracked the Enei, then got it welded up in a muffler shop in Thailand for a dollar. Survived a nunchuck wielding taxi driver in Hong Kong, a sledgehammer attack by a Vietnamese truck driver, and a machete attack in Thailand! The Enei was toast, so I got the third bike of the tour, a Shirley Steam Roller, in Thailand. Rode on alone through Laos, China, where I got robbed in Urumqi, and Kazakhstan. Made it safely back to Berlin, went on to Budapest for CMWC. Won Berlin Hallowe’en again! Test rider and promotional video and calendar model for Wheeler Bicycles – “der freakier Kanadier”!
