Does anyone know where in Tbilisi I can buy a used bicycle--either a mountain bike or a hybrid? Also, I'm wondering: When I go up in the Caucus mountains, would I be able to ride a bike between the towns of Kazbegi and Omalo? And (maybe this is a ridiculous question)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16726852.post-67759439783960618922012-07-13T11:48:45.032-04:002012-07-13T11:48:45.032-04:00I just arrived in Tbilisi a few days ago with my b...I just arrived in Tbilisi a few days ago with my bike, I'll be staying for four months. I have cycled in every city I've lived in and was recently a bike courier in Paris so I was deaf to people's assurances that it just wasn't possible in Tbilisi. And after my first few days I now know it is possible. Yes, it helps a lot being an experienced city cyclist, but I think your chaos=Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680270317162911173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16726852.post-5366306625807443152012-07-13T11:46:29.149-04:002012-07-13T11:46:29.149-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680270317162911173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16726852.post-10710100379761018682011-03-31T03:07:36.535-04:002011-03-31T03:07:36.535-04:00Great blog.

Both my wife and I miss riding to work and, well, just about everywhere, on our bikes. I really miss my fixie :( Great observations and renewing my interest to get a bike here.erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604524220190902126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16726852.post-14313743603022560872011-03-15T23:16:00.587-04:002011-03-15T23:16:00.587-04:00I've started cycling heavily in St. Louis.

Now I think I understand it. I don't see how I'd ever go back. I bike to work and it's beautiful, even in winter (but not when it snows). Keep spreading the word.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295562938792511228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16726852.post-39531294771051116242011-03-15T02:02:54.668-04:002011-03-15T02:02:54.668-04:00as a (rare) person to cycle in Tbilisifor the last...as a (rare) person to cycle in Tbilisifor the last few years: great post.
