  • Got stung by a bee about 10 km into today’s ride. Poor thing flew into my right shorts leg, panicked immediately and stung the inside of my thigh. Just arrived back home and noticed that the stinger was still in there. That’s no way to go.

  • I hate my brain sometimes.
    Looked at a bag on a site just now, thought I should read up on it a bit, and without thinking correctly typed the URL of the manufacturer that I only visited twice in the past. Ugh.

  • My friend Julie is an avid cyclist and she names her bikes. I thought it was time to do the same and my brain immediately went to the silliest option:
    The titanium gravel bike is now called “Battle Cat” and the black-anodised aluminium commuter bike listens to “Panthor”.

  • With the Stickermule marketplace defunct, does anyone know of a source for high quality sticker from independent artists? Or has Redbubble improved their quality in any meaningful way?

  • Bicycle vanity (or: the 90s want their anodised parts back)

    I think my gravel bike is finally complete. I had a perfectly good stem and stem cap on the bike before but for some reason I didn’t like the diameter of the stem tube in relation to the diameter of the seat post. It didn’t look right. So… I replaced it with the “Tune Geiles Teil 4.0” stem and a CNC-machined Tune stem cap that matches the colour of the Chris King headset quite well.

    Super bling Tune Geiles Teil 4.0 and a red CNC-machined Tune stem cap

    I think I’ve gone a little bit crazy with the red anodized parts on this bike but then again, I love how it looks and if I’m perfectly honest, yes, the bike has to ride well but I also have to like looking at it.

    All while installing these parts and doing a few other bits of maintenance on the bike, I couldn’t get this song out of my head. 🎶 🚵‍♂️

  • Wieder eine sehr gute Folge „Der Tag“. Ich teile Josef Bramls Einschätzungen zum modus operandi der USA und der Situation in Nord Korea/Iran uneingeschränkt.

  • I love this furry monster so much. She’s a total pillow dog and loves having something soft to rest her head on. This comes in handy quite often because we can signal to her that she can rest at a place we’re currently at. C4133B7D-CDE5-4DA2-8C43-6B9E82031C23.jpg

  • First proper outing with the gravel bike in a couple of weeks. Not an easy ride with temperatures already above 25°C at 0900 but I managed to set a new personal best for a rather gruelling climb. 🚴🏻‍♂️ D284B8CB-8E34-4E21-98C7-9A23D344C778.jpg

  • I really cannot say enough good things about the Campfire Andromeda earphones. So well made, such an amazing sound, and so easy to drive.
    They deliver as good a sound using the Apple Lightning/USB-C dongles as they do when attached to a good portable DAC/amp.
