Topic: bicycle tours

We often see cyclists on the road. They ride mostly for fitness or pleasure. And often we see cars, for long distances. We do even long distances by bike: In 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2011 I cycled with companions from Germany to Spain. In 2021 Murielle and I cycled to the mulberry region. In 2022 we visited friends in Portugal by bike. We don't have any more tours planned for the time being.

Bicycle trip instead of Oldenburg Walkabout

Cows walking over the asphalt road

Here a farmer had cordoned off the road with ropes to give way to his 100 cows so that they could go from the stable to the pasture. After he had cleaned the road, he let us drive on. But we got talking. He is 62 years old and said that everything used to be better, when everyone knew everyone and there weren't so many buildings around. I largely agree with him. But I also think it's good that I now have a smartphone and a laptop to write this blog.

Does the Internet bring more benefits or more disadvantages to humanity? And how could the disadvantages be reduced? I will write an article about this.

Portugal Tour

16 - 30 Apr 2022

The bicycle tour was a compromise between a walkabout and a bike ride. We prefer unpaved roads to roads with car traffic, but we also accept that we have to push from time to time... Read more about Portugal Tour

We love these mulberries. They're sooo delicious, juicy and satisfying. But you have to accept that you'll look like you've been in a bloody disaster afterwards. .. Read more about Mulberry tour
