This weekend I took part in the "Sternfahrt" (see my post here) Riding down the Avus I met this guy: We had a very friendly and nice chat and later on we met again at the victory column and I took the opportunity to take some pictures of his ride. It's all bolt on, no welding done at all. I...

And just to add as a bonus: today was #WorldBikeDay and what better use of it than to have the (mandatory) practical bike exam at the local traffic school for my fourth graders and attest 18 of 21 students of mine that they are really fit to enter the streets on their bikes!

I'm in a real bike riding streak this week. Last Thursday protest ride, Friday CriticalMass and Sunday the big "Sternfahrt" (Star Ride). Around 30'000 cyclistst rode through Berlin on different routes, some of them starting in the city center, some on the outskirts and some even starting shortly...

Just came back from a beautiful night ride through Berlin. Tonight was again the last Friday of the month, so time for critical mass. I rode the CobblestoneRat for about 30 km give or take in the crowd and another 28 to get there and back. We were probably around 1500-2000 riders... My ride in...

That's by far the easiest way. Just keep them unlisted, then they don't clutter you YT account (I have a few hundred videos stored there, but only very few of them are visible outside of the forums I post them in.

Do that! She's amazing! I follow her on the tube since a long time and she's also a regular in a very popular german TV-show for kids that explaines complicated stuff in a very simple way (Sendung mit der Maus) Go for it, you will love it! (I did and still do!) :wink1:

In my teenage years in the early 80ties these Mopeds (or "Töffli" as we would call them back in Switzerland) were extremely popular, especially Sachs and Puch. Every youngster would have wanted one (I was happy already then with my bike) to be part of the cool gang. It was (and obviously still...

Another Protest Ride on the Cobblestone Rat... Today I tried a new flagpole (fishing rod) to bring the flag as high up as possible and thought I had made a good job with it, but then there was this other guy who had also a "small" flag. But see for yourself... I doubted it at first...

The final game was even worse! (Not only because they lost) I only watch the World Championships, but then it's all in for Switzerland!

Now a proper cockpit shot (video still) from todays morning ride on the CapitanTerror around the Sacrow lake:

Busy day on the campground: First a quick round around the lake on CapitanTerror, then breakfast. Then some quick errands on the Swingbike just for fun And last bringing the garbage to the dumpsters with the trike Every ride has its purpose... 😉

Made good progress today and found some nice parts in the boxes. Nothing is final, but now I have a few options to finally start this build. Here's my first basic mockup. The wheels are only placeholders. I only found one rim I liked, I'll probably have some more stashed away in the basement at...

Yeah, that game was nerve wrecking! 😬 But I think tonight will be even worse, as the Czechs have the audience on their side... But first I need to take care of some bike stuff here. I already did a quick round around the lake on the CapitanTerror and even went for an early morning swim. No some...

After another Saturday of garden work and watching the Ice hockey Semifinal (Switzerland 🇨🇭 beat Canada 🇨🇦 in penalty shoot out after tying the game to 2:2 in the last third) I finally made it to the campground. Too late to to dig into the treasure boxes as it's already 11 p.m. here, but I'll do...

Todays cockpit... 😜 Not as much fun as riding a bike, but still a good workout. And hey, it has two wheels as well... 🤪🤣🤪

Yesterday was my last long commute to the center of Berlin for a while. As of Tuesday I go back from 13 km one way to 1,8 km... I usually crossed the Street of the 17th of July towards the end/beginning of my commute. At the moment the street is blocked for all motorized traffic due to...

Another little tweak got finally dealt with today. In the last few weeks the CobblestoneRat got quite a lot of roadtime an most of the times with a convertible backpack attached to its rack. Yesterday I had big trouble shifting and when I checked I saw that the little shifting chain had rubbed...
