Moving

· 12 Comments ·

“Being on the way” mostly meant being on my bike this year. As it is a bit difficult to photograph myself on the bike, so Wynona Rider (that’s the name of my bike) features mostly on her own.

Other bicycles are more communal. Especially those for hire which are becoming more and more common around here.

Although currently the weather is not conducive to biking, there are always a few intrepid cyclists.

I, on the other hand, rather agree with this one:

The best times are the breaks.

Friendly Friday: On the Way.

Taxing my patience

I understand that the students on their bicycles are breaking free after being cooped up the whole morning. But why do they have to do it on my commute?

I’ve explained it in a bit more detail here.

This ties in with Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Anything to do with bikes, trikes and motorcyles yesterday. I was on a long bike tour today. I came home with a scraped ellbow, a sore thumb and a cracked bicycle helmet.

I don’t know how the accident happened. I can localise it on a stretch of about 5 kilometres but I have no recollection of what happened. I made it home and I was hungry. My head doesn’t hurt. But my husband promised to watch me tonight.

Update: I’m fine. Here is another take of mine on the accident: https://debrisweb.wordpress.com/2020/08/08/soweit-ich-mich-erinnern-kann-to-the-best-of-my-recollection/

Handled perspective

One of my favourite perspectives these days: behind the handlebars.

And rather than only showing you more perspectives of my bicycle I give you some SERIOUS handlebars:

At our town’s spring festival (still a long way off) children dress up as garden gnomes, flowers, gardeners to welcome spring.

 

 

 

 

For the very small children it is often too far to walk so they are pulled in a wagon.

Some find even that too tiring.

 

 

 

 

 

And for the grown-up bikes there is this – the sticker (probably the name of a motorcycle club) is a word pun: abwegig can mean “off the beaten track” but normally it is used to mean “absurd”
