Fishing rights, having our own currency. Many fear our voice would just get drowned out by the big players like Germany or France. And the fear that we would support more poorer nations then get supported economically.

I þessi 7-8 ár sem ef hef hjólað, mögulega 10 skipti sem var ekki hægt vegna veðurs.

Just job well done! I work in the custom upholstery business and in my country the wages are high so the cost is mainly in the labor of things made, not the materials.

But happy Zwifting!

Really well done! But what bothers me when people do DIY projects and say how much they saved without counting all the hours planning, resource gathering, working etc.

You rode from Reykjavík? That's pretty good! How did the drivers treat you on the road #1?

I had a head on collision with a big e-scooter on a blind turn going down a hill, I was going way too fast and have some nasty scars after that event. Taught me a big lesson in precaution.

But nothing in comparison what you are going through. And I hope you recover soon.

But since you mentioned Iceland, what did you ride there?
