  • Yike Bike

    Somehow I admire the Kiwi’s, the guy’s who have that typical culture that is originated from New Zealand. The story of the Yike Bike is a nice example. The Flight Of The Conchords (also Kiwi’s) inspired Grant Ryan for the name of his blog ! It’s a nice song, by the way. see the next…
