After 12 years in Denmark our family is moving to Luxembourg, an even smaller country but much closer to my origins, my family, my roots. It's a lot of good memories we're leaving behind: both of our boys were born here, we built a home and made friends we will undoubtedly miss, but it also feels right to close the loop, reconcile geography and family while opening new horizons for our own kids.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter style=\" src=\"https:\/\/www.otmbikes.com\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/venskabsflag-dk-luxembourg-110x110.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"110\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I'm packing the workshop once again and I have no idea if and when I will unpack it. If I'm honest though, I'm kind of glad, because what felt like a liberating and empowering adventure into framebuilding 18 years ago, feels much more like a burden now, a weight to carry forward. I think I will spend more time on riding my bike in the comings months and perhaps years and not worry too much about building them, I anyway have too many bikes in my collection and I would need a few more lifetimes to go through all of them. Hopefully my kids will also ride and enjoy them as much as I did when I was growing up.<\/p>\n<p>It's time like these when you're reminded that life's a loop, an endless circle, a wheel that keeps on rolling.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"padding: 8px; border-style: solid; -moz-border-top-colors: none; -moz-border-right-colors: none; -moz-border-bottom-colors: none; -moz-border-left-colors: none; border-color: #dddddd #aaaaaa #aaaaaa #dddddd; border-width: 1px 2px 2px 1px; background-color: white;\" src=\"\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/moving.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s that time of Life again, when a chapter ends, a page turns and a new one starts.
