Cycling together - the Elemgade, a street in Nørrebro, Copenhagen, has a wide and seperated bike lane in one direction and a one way road with shared use in the other. In this way social cycling is supported by the infrastructure and of course the respectful mood in all the traffic. So one may see people cycling next to each other as something very normal - in Germany though this is rare in comparison.

Where traffic and infrastructure are designed well one will see benefits for mobility also in terms of a better social exerience and hence for a "better together" - Jack Johnson in the ears.

Again at Sankt Hans Torv at dawn, again all black including the classic bicylce.

Well, the Gazelle bikes user guide bears no relation to the reality of my Chamonix C8’s arrangement. Buggered if I can figure out how to release the brake and gear cables so I can take it off. Time to waste god knows how long scouring the interweb because the manufacturer can’t be arse to provide proper documentation. I expected better of Gazelle.

For the first time in five and a half years I have a flat on the rear tyre of my Dutch bike - so will have to contend with chain case, hub gearing & hub brakes. It will be fine, there’s a user manual. But then I get to the penultimate sentence - to the effect “refit is reverse of removal”, and a shudder runs down my spine :-S

Azor Heavy Duty Workman, size 61, deep red gloss, 7-speed gear hub.
The customer's picking this up on Saturday.

@ascentale @MartyCormack @bikenite #BikeNite A5. I'm on the lookout for an electric, fully upright Dutch cargo bike. The Azor "The Tank" is my current obsession, since it's a nice enough knockoff of a Workcycles FR8. These kinds of bikes just aren't sold here in the US, though. (Meanwhile I will Frankenstein my trusty FR8 with a Bafang motor and hope it works.) #BikeTooter #CargoBike #DutchBike
Today's second utility ride was a 12 km round trip to the recycling centre with a heavy trailer loaded with the remains of a useless decorative plant. We now have a bit more space in our front garden for the far more useful apple tree to expand into.
Three speed hub gears are a fabulous invention for utility cycling.

beautiful. Guess I won't be taking my bike to go to the office today. #dutchbike

Today's parcel run. I again had lots of odd shaped parcels so took them in a trailer.

And this time the photo is from the edge of Assen's city centre. The street from here on has restricted access. It's a pedestrian area where cycling is permitted, but we are supposed to look out for pedestrians.

No cars.

Deliveries to shops can be only made in the morning.

Drivers who ignore the restriction are photographed and fined.
