A cliff face and vineyards are reflected in a glass still river. The sky is hazy with patches of cloud.

A double scoop of icecream in a cone is held aloft with a backdrop of classic german timbered houses and a cobbled plaza.

View from a tent. Vineyards and a small town are reflected in the river, framed by the red entrance of a tent.

Loaded bicycle against a fence, with panniers, front roll, and some stuff on the top tube.

Long weekend could not have been better. Great cycling, great camp-sites, great food, wine, and company. The Mosel did not disappoint, although I could have done without 70 km of headwind on Sunday 😅

If I did it again, I would skip the part from Koblenz to […]

A purple steel frame touring bicycle leaning against a wall. It has beautiful silver beaten fenders, a brown brooks saddle, and brown walled tyres. It looks mint.

Nothing like a cycle tour as an excuse to pay some attention to the bike.

Washed, everything tightened, tyres installed. So ready for a few days tootling up the Mosel.

This is my third set of g-ones, such a solid everyday tyre. Very rarely get punctures […]

Housemate asked to borrow my bike. No worries, says I, just be aware the shifters are on the bar ends, and the brakes are wired backwards to what you're used to. For some reason he changed his mind? No appreciation for style.

Even casual cycling fans should get a kick out of this. Sarah Ruggins is on track to take the lejogle overall (!!) Record! Lejogle is a cycling route from Land's end to John O'Groats and back again. Just a casual 2700 km...

So far Sarah is averaging ~500 km a day, and should be finished […]

A gravel trail on the banks of a large river. The sky is a bright blue, reflected in the river below, and there is some vegetation overhanging the trail.

A white woman with dark hair wearing a pink poc helmet and wayfarer sunglasses smiles in a selfie.

A large icecream in a waffle cone. The flavours are sour cherry and peaches and cream. The icecream almost glows, which is appropriate as it felt like salvation on a hot day.

Labour Day well spent slowly rolling to Worms.

There's some very nice gravel trails along the Rhein, and a huge icecream at the end helped to offset the heat of the day!

Screenshot of tracked bike ride from Mainz to Koblenz. 100.9km, 730 m, 4:56 hr.

Three people from the back, cycling along a wide cycleway next to a river.

Saturday well-spent riding to Koblenz. 20°C, sunny, tailwind, good company - a splendid way to spend a Saturday. Highlights include very good icecream in Sankt Goar, and being there for my friend's first metric century, done on a Hercules city bike! She's […]

Icecream in the foreground, mountain bike in the background. Post ride treat.

Triptych - a very good Sunday. Teeshirt weather here today, which means getting out on the bike was appealing for the first time in a minute.

Endurance cycling fans will enjoy this full length doco about Lachlan Morton's record-setting lap around #Australia last year. I enjoyed dotwatching while he was out there, so good to see the film out! I'm watching it in sections, and it's great so far. It's quite beautifully shot, with lots of […]

Got the chance to try a friend's recumbent this morning, and holy moly they're so weird! Fun, but terrifying.

A purple steel bike with a brown brooks saddle, brown bar tape, and silver fenders leaning against a concrete wall.

No higher praise than when the mechanic says your bike is very nice 😍

New #VeloOrange fenders because I'm a sucker for nice bike stuff.

A very happy woman standing in the sun with her new Wilde Bike Earth Ship in blue and champaign pink built up with shiny chrome components and fat gum wall tires.

Looking down at the front of the frame and fork to see the sparkle in the paint and the detail on the Wilde logo.

New bike in the shade in front of a wooden fence. Shows off the chrome, but paint job is muted.

Free Range is amazing. New bike day! #bikesbikesbikes #bikelife @wildebicycles.bsky.social

A black hard tail mountain bike against a background of fall foliage. The trail is coated in fallen leaves and the bike is propped up with a pedal on a helmet.

First ride out on the bouncy bike in Deutschland! I did not shred - or even find - the gnar, just checked out one of the local city forests. Doesn't matter though, it's impossible to have a bad time on this bike.

2 degrees here this morning, and I think my commuting strategy needs work. It felt like my eyeballs were freezing - a new one for me! As my brother in law reminded me - it's not even winter yet...

#BikeCommute #BikesBikesBikes #IHaveNoIdeaWhatImDoing

Cool list! I really like bikes (don’t even own a car). Can I join? #bikesbikesbikes

A large group of people on bicycles taking up an entire lane.

Great time at #CriticalMassMainz tonight.

There's just something about a big group of people on bikes engaging in some mild #CivilDisobedience. Immaculate vibes.
