Oh sweet! Apparently those europeansleeper trains have 26 bike slots too, plus some more in peak season. That is way more than what the ÖBB nightjets offer.
It is also a point of critique for quadlock (and i guess sp as well), i have been riding with my current phone attached for about 15000 km, including thousands of km on chunky surfaces, i have not had this problem, neither did i with the phones i had before. I feel very confident to continue using this system. But yeah, i guess there is a risk.
I used to have a silicon strap phone mount in the beginning, but the phone was rattling like crazy on rocky surfaces, very confident that the stem mount is much milder on the phone.
SP micro stem mount and the self adhesive universal adapter on a regular phone case. Very happy with it.
Just had a look, pretty crazy participation levels in the german speaking cycling community !fahrrad@feddit.org . I reckon it's the most active cycling community on lemmy, even though it also only has like ten times less subscribers than the english ones.
and their little stinkybums.
Today one of the lil' stinkybums flew onto a flower pot. They'll be flying out into the dangerous world in a few days. Yesterday evening, opposite side of the garden, a kestrel caught a bird. Don't know what bird it was who had a nest under the roof gutter, the swifts are already on their way to Africa.
1.01K subscribers, pretty damn cool, but yeah a bit disappointing to see just two people running the show.
!bicycle_touring@lemmy.world is doing pretty damn good, considering the fact that the english speaking general cycling communities with way more subscribers see so little traffic. I guess after the season it will die down quite a bit, but season's still on. Yes, season's still on, so strap some luggage on your bike and get going.
If you did it would not be rent free, or would it, einstein. But no worry, i don't think about you, just this topic and your enthusiasm for it triggered my reply :)
Have a downvote for going off topic and "personal".
Or some self entitled 3rd party admin would do that just because they'd feel like people owed them explanations.
Yeah, just like rglullis actually dragged downvoters into the public on a few occasions, to pressure them to explain their downvotes.
Liebe Stadt Düsseldorf: Wenn hier irgendwas an der Straße renovieren müsst, sorgt bitte dafür, dass der Fußweg auch wirklich unmissverständlich wie ein Fußweg aussieht.
Also z.b. so wie die neuen radwege rund um den köbogen.
Das muss man noch bisschen üben in düsseldorf.
Ok, that's interesting, maybe i should put a spare jockey wheel in my tool bag. I have never had that happen to me though. Did you notice something odd before it fell apart?
Scotland would be cool, but i am always worried about midges and the weather, so i generally tend to head south. Some day, been so long since i was in the UK.

Personally i like them quite a bit, the small gear steps, i am using the simultaneous shifting like front 1 up, rear 1 down a lot to find myself in the best cadence.
I know people being happy with their switch over to 1x setups, but tbh i don't see myself doing that at all. I guess 2x, but i wonder how you would get to the small steps, like do you do something like front 1 up, rear 3(?) down, or just get used to the bigger steps?
Do you think 3x drivetrains will ever make a comeback or are they fading out for good?
This is my favorite pigeon of the goofy balcony crew. She moves very funny, and often times she fluffs up her head feathers which i find super cute, like in the picture, but the other feathers aren't fluffed up.
She and her lover came by with their baby, but i try to have a heart of stone and not feed them to not disturb the breeding couple on my balcony. Her lover is also very funny.
Not sure how you all feel about pigeon content in here. I love pigeons.
This is a photo from two years ago, i stood there for a good minute wondering how the hell and why this weird cycle path was there. It is in southern France, on the climb to Col d'Ecre, bit north of Nice.
Take a guess, i finally fully understand.
So after the Pyrenees i kept cris crossing around France, bit of Cevennes, Provence, Verdon, Haute Alpes, back to Provence, Vercors, Chartreuse, Jura then to Freibug to take a train home. Title picture is taken on the Montagne de Lure, Mont Ventoux' little brother close to Sisteron.
Gorge du Tarn in the Cevennes. I was getting sick here again
Riding out of Gorges du Verdon to Castellane
On the descend of the Col de la Sinne, looking onto the village Ilonse
This is not some gravel track but the still closed Col d'Allos on my way back south after riding Bonette. Nobody around but two roadies.
Riding the prealpes, from Digne-les-Bains to Sisteron via St Geniez, very nice.
Vercors mountains look awesome, picture taken close to Die
Riding out of Vercors down to Grenoble
After Grenoble i rode through Chartreuse mountain range then down to the Lac du Bourget towards Jura
Second to last day, in french Jura, after that i rode to Freiburg to take a train home
Route of France section Part 1, Perpignan - Barême and Part 2, Barême - Freiburg
They are really well hidden and silent, didn't even realize for two days after i came back from my holidays. I already knew this pigeon couple from before my holidays (was gone for two months), they are like the regulars in my garden.
This is the father sitting on the eggs. BTW I had made this mess deliberately to keep pigeons from trying to breed there, it seemed to work while i was at home i guess. Hope when the little ones hatch they won't fall into any gaps there.
I tried to call the local bird help, if maybe they would swap the eggs for fake ones, but i could not reach anybody, they have too much to do this time of the year and i reckon pigeons breeding on a balcony ain't no emergency either.
Just outside of Pontarlier, France
In the Jura. Last wild camp of the trip, need to take a shower before i get on the train :)
Lavendre, Mont Ventoux, Soleil.
I love it.
When i went onto my first solo cycle trip some years ago (from germany to marseille, france), my coworkers joked that i should ride mont ventoux. I had no idea what mont ventoux was, but read it up. On that trip i happened to cycle around this mythical mountain, looked awesome, but i never seriously considered going up ever.
On two more cycle trips i cycled around mont ventoux on different routes, and it always looked just so cool from afar. This trip i wanted to hit mont ventoux, but i got sick basically on the western foot of it. I rode in recovery mode east past it, through the valley, looked awesome again. I then continued towards the high alps but eventually decided to turn around because of the weather forecast, back south into the prealps of provence.
And today i actually got to ride it. I rode it from Sault, because that's where i was coming from, which i guess is not what the OG's do or consider "riding mont ventoux", but cycle tourers are aloud to do that, haha.
Lots of roadies going up there. And it lived up to its name, it was real windy. In the morning at the bottom of the climb one roadie told me that it might be too dangerous to ride to the summit today but thankfully the wind chilled out a bit as i was going up, and also the cloud that had covered the top went away.
Picture is bit below the top on the descend to Malaucene. That glider plane was going nuts, that stuff looks absolutely crazy.
And where did you crosspost it to, that link is dead for me.
Looks beautiful!
