Bikes, bikes and more bikes

Hi!

I live in a town called Uppsala. It's a University town with one of the oldest universities in Europe. Lots of students means lots of bicycles! On my way to school it feels like I'm seeing more bicycles than cars which I consider to be a very good thing.
Uppsala has bicycle paths next to the majority of the roads. They are well built and nice to cycle on. It does get confusing in roundabouts and when srossing major roads but i really prefer cycling here compared to Guernsey. There are also paths for cycling in the forest that's close to where I live. I love cycling in the forest. It's just awesome.
I will now take a moment to have a bit of a rant. HELMETS! There are far too many people who do not use helmets. Every day, someone ends up in the hospital as a result of cycling accidents. The ones who wear helmets get considerably less serious injuries. My source: my mum is a nurse at A&E here at the university hospital. PLEASE WEAR A HELMET AND BE CAREFUL IF YOU CYCLE! I know taht it isn't cool but ending up paralysed, in a coma or dead is far worse than enduring not being in the 'cool crowd'.
Rant over.
Next topic: sweets and Swedish food in general.

Bye Banan!
