We'll start out with our introduction:
Q1. Where are you posting from today? Have you experienced or thought about any cycle-related milestones lately? Past, present, or future. Number of trips, distance, location, type of ride, etc?
@ascentale#BikeNite A1: Posting from Lauchringen, Germany, where this weekend the #SPEZI (trade fair for bicycles beyond the "diamond frame standard") takes place.
Last weekend I took part in my first #slowUp mass bicycle tour (https://slowup.ch/) with thousands of other people.
On Wed. I will have likely successfuly completed my #30DaysOfBiking: Sat+Sun will be easy as I'll ride to SPEZI. And Tue. will be a normal commute to the office. Mon. might get a round around the block.
#30DaysOfBiking, Day 21: Took part in the mass bicycle tour #slowUp#Ticino (https://slowup.ch/ticino/) with the #Brompton. I rode 52.4km according to the Garmin GPS. Officially it's a 50km round course between #Locarno and #Bellinzona. Took me 4h45min including all breaks. Needed the e-assist more often than expected due partially hefty wind. It had around 15 degrees C, though. So temperature-wise it was a comfortable ride. There were surely several thousand cyclists taking part in the event.
Today is Slow Up Day around Zürichsee: the lakefront road down one side of the lake is closed to motor vehicles for the whole day so it can be safely traveled by bike, skate, or on foot.
Aujourd’hui c’est le #slowup des routes fermées à la circulation automobile et réservées aux modes doux …
Ça change tout , il y a foule à pied, à #velo , Roller sans oublier les fauteuils des handicapés qui pour une fois sont à égalité
60 km en liberté ça fait du bien
Kurz vor dem Schulbeginn nach den Sommerferien findet in unserer Gegend ein Slow Up statt. Das GPS registrierte 38.1 KM und 270 Höhenmeter.
Die Runde beginnt gleich mit einem Aufstieg durch die Altstadt von Brugg, dann entlang der römischen Ausgrabungen von Vindonissa (Windisch). Es wird schattig während der Fahrt ein Stück das Reusstal hinauf. Dann bei Mülligen schon der nächste Uphill hinauf auf das Birrfeld.
