I've been to Sweden three times......1994, 1996 and 2002. I was there in the summer of 1994 (midsommer) and late May early June both 1996 and 2002. I thought Stockholm was a beautiful city. I did notice the bike riders were daring as hell though. Riding between cars splitting lanes and driving somewhat crazy. It wouldn't work so well here in Chicago. Someone would open a door on them and send them flying. I did notice , or at least it seemed everybody rode there with full gear on. That was nice to see. Anyway, enjoy your bike. I am waiting for some good weather here to ride. It snowed about 8 inches here two days before Easter.
