Once again I'm bikepacking in Munich and once again I need some place to stay (preferably in the city limits) on 28th of May and 31th. I don't smoke and I'm very low maintenance, I can even sleep in my tent on the terrace! I'm taking return train very early on Monday 1st of June.

In the 1970s the Traffic Circulation Plan was introduced in the city of Groningen to reduce car traffic in the city center.

The 22 minute video shows that it was met with a lot of resistance, but 50 years later it is the foundation of why people love Groningen.

The plan was radical and »ridiculous«, but it worked.

»Er gaat niets boven Groningen« 🥂

Every few months, while I cycle to work, I notice I am putting more effort, getting a little bit more breathless, and tell myself I need to do more exercise to get in better shape.

I wish you all to have someone in your life who inflates your tires, literally or figuratively.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Do an exercise today and take 5 minutes to be gentle towards another person.

It will take only 5 minutes and could completely turn another person's day.

Amazing, right?
