As I was away in the most extreme South-West corner of Germany, I could not take part in (or at least: take pictures of) this year’s Tweed Day cycling event in Berlin. Which is actually a virtual pret-à-porter event. Judge for yourself, as fahrradjournal.Das...
The last leg of the tour – and that meant, of course, the last chance to see the sea which I love so much. But the feeling of melancholy was soon forgotten, as something new and very exciting came into sight: the first of the so-called Bodden, virtual lagoons of...
Woke up rather early in the morning. And was wondering what the heck was so funny that so many folks had to laugh so hysterically. And could not stop, not even after minutes and minutes. As soon as they had half-way calmed down, apparently someone had to chuckle and...
Yesterday’s stroll through Greifswald’s harbor museum made me really long for the sea which I have always loved. And today was the day when we would reach the coast of the Baltic Sea, cross over to the island of Rügen and keep on riding on this biggest of...

Long time, no posting – here is why: After the race in Hamburg was ticked, I packed my panniers and went on a one-week bike packing adventure in the North-Eastern German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern – all the way from Hamburg to the island of Rügen and...
Only one more day before the annual Cyclassics race in Hamburg, Germany will have me show up at the start line (and hopefully at the finish line as well – not too long after, if all goes well despite the lack of sufficient annual riding kilometers in my legs)....
