Welcome to “I Cycle!”

fiets

My personal site about cycling.

Here you’ll find information about cycling, parts, touring, bike commuting, etc… I don’t ride my bicycle for speed, but to see more, to relax and to enjoy.

Notice

It’s still far from finished or complete, so still a work in progress. ;-)

If you would like to participate, you’re free to react and registration is free and just informal.

Grtz,

Frank

No braze-on parts, still a lock

My Surly Disc Trucker has quite some braze-ons to mount a lot of accesoiries like bottle cages, racks, pump, etc… (even spare spokes). But unfortunately there are no braze-ons for a lock. And as I absolutely wanted a mounted lock on my bike, I found the Trelock RS 440 with bracket to mount it on the frame. …
