Brittany 2013 (2)

We saw this menhir from a small road on our bike tour through Brittany. It was pure coincidence, but impressive. A little further away was a very crooked stone.

Sweden 2012 (2)

With a friend I cycled from Göteborg to Stockholm, where we visited another friend. On the way home I cycled alone to Trelleborg, and camped wild. The nice thing about Sweden is, that it’s legal, hence no need to worry about being seen. And it’s nice to have water always close, a swim to wash…

England 2016

When I lived in London my commute consisted of a cycle ride and a train trip (sometimes I would cycle all the way, but that was well over one hour cycling). And the cycle ride would often lead me through Richmond Park. The park is quite big, at least much bigger than I had expected…

Ore mountains 2004

At the time I worked shifts, including weekends. And I cycled every day 15 km to work and 15 km back, which meant I was really fit. One sunny Wednesday I headed out cycling and, after half a day, passed by this bridge. Getting off the bicycle to take pictures and look around was a…

England 2021

It took a bit longer than expected, but finally the clouds moved away and the sun came out. The above picture shows the clouds, moving left. Until then the cycle ride in this early October Sunday was a bit chilly. After the sun came out I watched out for a quiet place to have lunch…

Cornwall 2018 (2)

The weather in the UK during that June and July in 2018 was surprisingly sunny. I remember thinking two weeks before my holiday, that if it’s sunny now, I will probably have a lot of rain on my cycle tour. And even this one week of dry weather was unexpected. But no, it didn’t rain…

Germany 2014

I think this is one of the loveliest stretches of the cycle path along the Danube river. It’s narrow and hilly and so the area is quite empty of people, and more importantly, cars. This was the second time I cycled it on a tour from Thuringia to visit friends in Switzerland. River cycle paths…

Thailand 2018

Two work appointments in Thailand were a week apart, and instead of suffering more from travel home and back, and cause more CO2, I used the time for some holiday, besides other places I stayed in Khao Sok. Besides the trip to the lake, I only travelled by foot or with the bicycle there. This…

Finding Snow – Thuringia 2014

It was Winter and where I lived I didn’t see much snow. But as I crave some snow every year, and checking the snow measurements of the nearby mountain area, I saw that several 100 metres higher there was a good amount of snow. So I decided to get on the train, go to the…

Sweden 2012

With a friend I cycled from Göteborg to Stockholm, where we visited another friend. On the way home I cycled alone to Trelleborg, and on the second day I passed this rock and wanted to take in a view of the overall landscape.
