Merry christmas and happy new bike year

Two days before christmas, a thin layer of snow-like substance on the ground here in Stockholm. I already long for warmer and more cycling friendly times. My wish for next year is to ride many more miles than this year and watch a lot of good cycling - everything from the spring classics via the Giro to TDf and of course the Olympics in London. It's really great to see how popular cycling is becoming in Sweden and with Eurosport one can enjoy everything from the living room with great commentators.
I think the person who painted this road in Castillion-la-bataille says it all for 2012:

(That) Orange bike

You all know what happens if you mix red and yellow - you get orange. Ever since I was a kid I've always had a soft spot for this colour on a bike - like so many other Swedish kids growing up with Crescent. Browsing a magazine I came across an ad for this bike.

It is a Raleigh Furley. A robust steel framed single speed with disc brakes. This could be a perfect commuter and bike for training rides in winter time. Just need to check how to buy one from Sweden.
