I can divide the story of my love affair with bicycles into three chapters.
At the age of 4 I got my first three-wheeled bicycle from my parents. At that time I did not know that it was just the beginning of a lifetime experience. I have a very clear image of myself riding on my childhood bicycles in these early days of mine.
At the age of 40, my wife bought me a special birthday present: a brand new diamondback bicycle. This marked the 2nd cycling chapter. I’ve started to ride different types of mountain bikes regularly, near my home and abroad, in many bicycling tours around the world.
Several years ago – The third and current bicycling love affair of mine started three years ago when I started my first website about Bicycles and Bicycling.
Many things have changed over these years. In October 2010, I took part in a gorgeous bike riding trip along the Rhine River in Germany, France, and Switzerland. We were two bikers on our first, yet short bicycle touring trip, exploring the beauty of the Rhine valley, as well as ourselves and our passion for bicycling.
In May 2015, two of my best friends and I came back from another great trip: a bicycle trip in Japan. You are most welcome to read more on our 450 km ride from Takayama to Kyoto.

About Me & Bicycles and Bicycling Websites
My official education is an electrical engineer with years of experience in software development. In the last ten years, I have been developing software for GPS navigation. Over the years, I had some ideas on how to express my creativity. The last one was to build a website that will help me in achieving this goal.
WordPress is a Dynamic website management system. WordPress is the leading CMS (Content Management System) in the world. It is based on the PHP scripting language, as well as on the Open Source phpMySQL server. As I become more experienced in creating websites, I feel that I am ready to move on to a more advanced (and challenging) platform.

Hi there, hoping someone can help me ID this tricycle (?) The manufacturer brand is quite worn, but perhaps someone knowledgeable can identify the brand from the color scheme/shape?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
