Did 25 miles of trails on the neo-klunker in the heat yesterday (personal distance best on the single speed):
Might have overdone it a bit in the heat, completely emptied my 2-liter knock-off camelback (never did that before). Got home & slammed another liter of propel/mio water mix. Once I cooled down, I washed the bike & relaxed in the A/C the rest of the afternoon.
Today it was time for a special protest ride: Badefahrt! (you could translate it as ride to the beach)
Around 109 cyclists gathered at the Brandenburg Gate to ride to the beach at Tegeler See, way up in the north of Berlin. All with perfect police protection.
The boys and I joined and I sported the CobblestoneRat with it's brand new protest ride trailer (my cargo trailer with a little upgrade...)
Here we are, gathering at the Brandenburg Gate
Todays ride
Our route up to the north (with the way to the meeting point and then back home from the beach, the kids and I made around 70 km)
Here are some pictures that other riders took...
It was big fun and the boys and I had a good time together!
I put the properly sign-written Rad plate back on the STR because ... match.
And I've been riding it heaps. Spring as sprung in Brisbane - glorious weather for pedals of late.
Been riding the 3g Side stepper lately and forgot how much of a workout this thing really is. Upgrading the twist shift to trigger shifter has made a huge difference in handling.
And another protest ride (as the politicians in Berlin take one very bike unfriendly decision after the other we have lots of protest rides going on this month...)
