My Bike


Hi again,

I didn't publish anything since April, but a lot has happened. I started cycling again here in the US. Yes, you did hear right, I'm cycling in the US and I do so not only for recreation, but also for commute. I thought about that quite early so I chose the location of my apartment close to my employee which is now only about 5 kilometers away. Grocery stores, a railway station and even a cinema are all in bike distance, so buying or using a car doesn't really make sense up to now. Maybe towards the winter...

For recreation I cycle about 40-60 kilometers on each trip at the moment, once or twice every week. I complement that by running 5-10 kilometers once or twice a week, depending on the weather and personal fitness. Unfortunately, I still suffer slightly from the walking pneumonia that I had in February/March, but whenever I exercise it feels much better.
