A set of Star Trek-themed stickers arrived today and I‘m loving them. Already stuck one onto my gravel bike. 🖖🚲

Wanted an insulated bike bottle. Decided to use the purchase to add another splash of colour to my bikes. 🚲

The more things I try with this bike the more I like it. It’s so versatile and dependable.

A few weeks ago it was a touring bike, lately it’s been my commuter, and now I’ve prepared it for a gravel rallye. 🚲

Why yes, I am very pleased with my Bedrock Sandals tan lines this year. Thank you for asking.

Vorhin beim Bäcker gesehen.
Ist so. Bin mir sicher die Toten Hosen würden dem auch zustimmen.

While I like the feel of the Fabric silicone handle bar tape, even closely wrapped it doesn’t provide nearly as much cushioning as the Specialized S-Wrap HD. No handle bar tape I’ve tried over the past three years beats the Specialized for gravel use for me. 🚲

A couple of rides later, I’m not hating the fenders. Still getting used to how it looks on the gravel bike but it’s not bad. 🚲

Hello spider fren!

(This is a female wasp spider I found in one of the higher patches of gras in our garden this morning. I had never seen this kind of spider before today. Apparently they’re now common in Germany due to climate change.)

Spent most of yesterday working in and around the garden. Just before noon the light was perfect for some handheld macro-ish close-ups. 📷

Saw the cloud cover during a walk with the dogs. Rushed home to grab my camera and bike. Cycled up one of the valleys in the vicinity. Took photos. 📷
