Another weekend with a bike focus

The cycling season is not over yet.

On Friday evening, I took part in the 11th Kassel Bike Night, organized by the ADFC, of which I have been a member for a few months. Accompanied by the police, we cycled about 22 kilometers around Kassel, with a special focus on the new bike streets. It was definitely a cool experience and an important event to raise awareness for better cycling infrastructure. Our green mayor also said a few nice words at the beginning.

Today I went for another longer ride on my sporty bike. It’s not always easy to find routes here in the region that only have a few meters of elevation gain. Kassel lies in a valley between several low mountain ranges, and the only flat terrain is along the rivers. On today’s tour, I didn’t use my lowrider bags, but my new 6-liter frame bag from deuter. It certainly helps with agility and is perfectly adequate for carrying an air pump, tools, first aid kit and food.
