Once and for all you have a chance to check out one of those crazy-cool theaters you've seen in crazy-cool movies. Even if the play you choose would be in Latvian, it would still give you enough impression not to regret you went to check it out. And you can even leave your ties and evening gowns home.

Cross the Akmens Bridge and just go straight. Pass the Uzvaras (Victory) park and Māras pond. Now starts the best part! A minute ago you were in the city, now you are out in the wild. You will go under a railway track and a huge overpass. In the end you’ll reach Bieriņi/Mārupe - a quiet residential neighbourhood near the border of Riga.

It's a fantastic feeling to join fellow riders on Friday night and spontaneously go into the unknown! You can see interesting places that even locals haven't seen before. The routes are usually 30-60 km long, but you can always leave if you feel it's too hard.

I like the feeling when I am there. It is like I somehow connected to the space and probably alien life because locators are used now by scientists, also for searching of the extraterrestrial life since Soviet army left military locators when they had withdrawn from Latvia in the first part of 1990s
