		<title>Snow Monkeys near Nagano</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the train to Yudanaka station from Kyoto I started to wonder if it was worth the effort. From the window of the speedy shinkansen train we watched factory after factory, town after town slide by under the heavy, grey sky. We were on our way to a ryokan near a national park in search [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strolling through Kyoto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kyoto is another city I left feeling like I hadn&#8217;t quite seen enough of it. Somehow it reminds me of a French town, possibly because of the narrow streets and a culture of pedestrians, cars and bikes all happily sharing the same space. Of course there&#8217;s the emphasis on food too. Most important. We spent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bridgestone + Nitto + Brooks + more</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Firstly, if anyone is restoring one of these bikes from scratch you might want to check out the old catalogues on the Sheldon Brown site. While at Citizen Chain I collected a few random pieces for the bike. The Brooks standard B17 saddle (honey and men&#8217;s&#8230;. couldn&#8217;t see that I needed a specific women&#8217;s one), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bridgestone RB-T build</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last November when we were in the states I had a plan to bring home a bike. This grand idea came to me last October when I saw a nice bike at the traffic lights on Broadway and Jones St in Sydney after following her from my work. A few corners later we were still [...]]]></description>

		<title>Into the Oregon woods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Driving through the Oregon woods is the scary stuff of fairy tales. Scary in a good way. It&#8217;s damp, dark and misty. Slimey, slippery and quiet. Tread carefully for Mulder or Scully might be hiding behind a tree. On the road west from Eugene to Florence there&#8217;s a forest of young fir trees (Siuslaw National [...]]]></description>

		<title>Come as you are &#8211; to Seattle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As some people say, go to Seattle and you&#8217;ll know why Kurt Cobain killed himself. It really is a very grey city. Our entire stay was shrouded in a mist which would be more at home in the UK, and the streets have a certain quietness that goes with such weather. But I think it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Toronto, north of the border</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the back seat of a cab en route to the hotel I was reminded of Sydney. The shops made of glass and steel with their bright signs showed that it was a clean and capable city, but it hardly told me much about the character. Is this what international tourists think of Sydney? Lucky [...]]]></description>

		<title>New York</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Driving into NY from DC had the city slowly creeping up on us in darkness. Firstly industrial, then suburban sprawl, sometimes a mixture of both and finally the traffic jam as the bridges and tunnels of Manhattan filled with people entering the city for the evening. It&#8217;s the fourth time I&#8217;ve been to NY yet [...]]]></description>

		<title>Washington DC, or, The Canberra Problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First rule: if you&#8217;re going to take an overnight flight, make sure the destination is interesting enough to keep you awake. In DC I found myself making the same excuses I make in Canberra and talking up the positives of the place. Yes, the parks are lovely and the museums are great but where is [...]]]></description>

		<title>San Francisco &#8211; down the Mission</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Walk down almost any street in San Francisco and you&#8217;ll come across someone talking to themselves. Not always crazy people, sometimes it&#8217;s people just talking to whomever will listen. Street car drivers, buskers, perky homeless people requesting a quarter, they all add to the ambience which is very different to anywhere I&#8217;ve been on the [...]]]></description>
