Personal: I ran headfirst into a bit of a classic burnout two years ago. I’m still recovering from it. I’ve been trying to maintain a presence and not make this condition show too much, but I need to scale down the rest of my presence too for a while in order to reset and recharge.

I’ve been starting and re-starting writing this post way too many times now. I’ve decided to just post it as a stream of consciousness, readable or not as it may be, rather than my usual bar of having some sort of clear red thread with step-by-step logical coherence.

Two years ago, while moving from Stockholm to Berlin, I hit the infamous brick wall. I became incapable of most work that required any form of vehicular travel — I was literally limited to walking distance. Yes, it felt as ridiculous as it sounds, but it was just a matter of accepting the lay of the land and working with it. At the time, I was able to maintain some illusion of normality while starting to wind down and recover behind the scenes, thanks to being able to work remotely. I’ve since stopped working altogether — or so I thought, at least — and focusing on recharging.

When you drive a solar-powered rover too aggressively in Kerbal Space Program and the sun goes down, the batteries deplete quickly. You can’t start driving the rover again when the sun goes up from its state of depleted batteries, not even at its rated speed; you have to wait until the batteries have recharged, even if the circumstances (i.e. shining sun) should otherwise make you able to operate nominally. This is a little bit the state I’m in: I should nominally be fine, with most of the everyday load reduced significantly, but my batteries are still not recharging at the rate I had expected them to. (Yes, I’m impatient, which is admittedly part of the problem in the first place.)

So to all people who have written to me over this past time that I haven’t responded to: Please accept my apologies. It’s not out of malice or disinterest I haven’t responded, I’m simply getting done in a month what I used to get done in a day, and even that is a marked improvement. The “need to respond” queue is silly long by now, and includes conference invites and whatnot, that I would normally have responded to within minutes. It includes pings from near friends, that I had hoped to spend a lot more time with here in Berlin, as well as distant friends.

A close friend of mine pointed at a recent study about stress, a study looking at burnout symptoms in places with very good work-to-life balance, and the study concluded that the body doesn’t make a difference between obligations for work or obligations that are felt outside of work for any other reason than money. And she’s right: I’ve been feeling a pressure to shoot video, to code open-source projects, to participate in the community. I need to, bluntly speaking, drop all of these expectations for the foreseeable future. “Go off-grid” is a little too harsh, but I’ll need to turn off the expectation heartbeat on literally everything. I’ll do random things from time to time when I have the energy and desire for it, which unfortunately won’t be most of the time.

These recoveries basically take whatever damn time they please. I could have recharged batteries in six months, in a year, in ten years. I have honestly no idea and therefore I’m not setting any expectations, in either direction.

I’d like to say “I’ll be back”, but I don’t think the person on the other side of this recovery is going to be the same person I am today. I am sure I will still want to change the world for the better, somehow. I just can’t tell today how I’ll be wanting to change the world tomorrow. So even though I’ll very likely be back doing something, it’ll very likely not be the exact same things I’ve done up until this point.

The production of BMX bikes got slower this year for various reasons. So we are very happy that the Mankind delivery will reach us at the beginning of December. We strongly recommend reserving the BMX bikes in advance by placing an order.

The pre-christmas season is approaching, so we are happy that the 2021 Mankind BMX bikes will reach us at the beginning of December. We have also prepared a few BMX gift tips and the delivery of the wethepeople clothing is also in stock. Especially for Christmas we have increased the our return policy to 90 days .

The first warm sunstrays have reached us and the desire for riding increases immeasurably. Last year, almost all 18 inch bikes were sold out, so we are happy to be able to offer you the Sunday Primer 18" again which is one of the best BMX bikes for kids. We have also received deliveries from eclat and etnies!

Yeah, we're super stoked of our team rider Lara Lessmann, who is now officially supported by VANS BMX . In her "Welcome Edit" Lara shows her BMX lifestyle combined with beautiful pictures from Berlin.

We hope you enjoy the video.

Yay, the first delivery of the new Mankind BMX parts for spring 2022 has reached us. Among other BMX parts, the popular Sunchaser seats and frames, which are the signature parts of Daniel Juchatz, are available again, so get them while stocks last.

It's still incredibly tricky to get BMX bikes. So we're very happy that the new 2022 BMX bike collection from Mankind Bikes has arrived at our shops. Mankind Bikes is one of the brands that we can recommend as BMXer to the fullest because of the quality, price/performance, design and commitment to the BMX scene itself.

Our "Mankind Bikes" supplier has discovered a box full of Mankind "Prometheus" Freecoasters in their warehouse, which is why we can now offer them to you with an extremely attractive price. So if you've ever thought about trying out a freecoaster, this is the perfect opportunity and if you also add a rim, spokes and our assembly service to your shopping cart, you can even put together a complete wheel. This offer is only valid while stocks last
