About

I'm a Turkish male living in Istanbul, Turkey.

Until 39 I didn't know how to ride a bike. When I first threw my leg over a bike, I immediately fell in love with it.

Now after 29 years I'm still in love with my bike and try to tour when I find the opportunity.

Unfortunately, I can't do this much lately because our son moved out and my significant other doesn't feel comfortable when she's alone at home. So no overnighters.

I used to publish my tour notes on a server of my employer but it got decomissioned recently. While looking for a new home I came across CycleBlaze and moved my notes over here.

My journals are all in Turkish. At first I couldn't decide if I should translate them, then I thought nobody would give a damn about some lousy writing which is decades old, so why bother.
