Happy Birthday to my favorite bike!

It was the first birthday of my favorite bike, my Cube Hyde Race! So, I used this Saturday, home alone, to do another long bike ride – 58 km this time. I took the Weser-Harz-Heide-Radweg (I’ve written about other parts of it before) towards the Harz low mountain range and the city of Goslar. The sun was shining, and it got up to 32°C, but I managed to finish without problems. For the way back, I took the train, which I just managed to catch in time.

I really love this bike! It’s not one I can casually ride at 30 km/h, but I can easily use it on paths with a bit more gravel, which is great. And it also works great for riding through the city! I’m really happy I decided on this bike instead of a racing bike. I don’t like riding next to roads (unless there’s a bike path in excellent condition), but I love exploring nature.

P.S.: It was also a good decision to choose a bike with a belt drive. There have been no issues so far. 👌 And in case there should be any issues, I have an insurance with a service, where they will come and fix my bike or pick me up and bring me home.
