Heute mal wieder für 'ne längere #Radtour mit dem #BromptonElectricGLine #rausgeschafft: 59½km, 498hm und das alles auf 1 Akku vom #Brompton #ElectricGLine mit am Ende noch 9% Restakku.

(Die letzten Tage saß ich zwar auch jeden Tag im Velosattel, aber die Fahrten zählten eher "unter ferner liefen" und zufriedenstellende Bilder gab's auch keine. Aber ich hab den #BikeStreak aufrecht erhalten und bin nun bei Tag 20. Und bei 668km in den letzten 4 Wochen…)

On the same bicycle tour I also saw this magnificent Russian 1970s #GAZ-24 #Volga #oldtimer.

@xtaran it's much less magnificent when you're inside it and the taxi driver barely follows the traffic rules. It was a newer model, but basically the same. Awful seats, nonfunctional seatbelts, smell of gasoline...

There have been better cars in history :)

@bonkers: 🤪 Ok, I had mostly its condition in mind.

@xtaran yeah, I've seen "like new" Trabants. I'd love to drive one around the town once in my life. But it's not something I'd stick to for long :)

@xtaran I've been in these in the early 2000s. I remember one taxi ride to the old main Moscow airport (Sheremetyevo?) when it was about -20 outside and there was a big hole in the wheel arch. I though I was going to get frostbite it was so painful. The best way to describe them is... boat like
