Tech, life and everything else
Instead of using Instagram, I prefer uploading pictures to my blog. Everyone can view them there without creating an account and visitors don’t get any ads or are tracked.

Yesterday, while my fiancée was attending a work event, I decided to explore a cycling route around Braunschweig. It was approximately 53 km through relatively quiet areas, including many forests and fields. The paths were often bumpy and not suitable for high speeds, but I prefer enjoying nature anyway.

After four years without a car of my own, I am a car owner again. I just picked up this 2025 Hyundai i10 with about 4000 km on the odometer. I still dream of a world where individual cars aren’t necessary, but we’re not there yet. My fiancée needs a car for her job, which starts in August. In a few years, when there is better charging infrastructure, we might switch to an electric vehicle. Let’s see!

Not only the sun is rising, my mood as well! 🌄

The only positive thing about this insomnia is getting out into nature for a bit in the morning. It reminds me of the time I deliberately woke up early in the morning to be in the office by 7 am after a 10-kilometer run and breakfast.

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.

New watch. My old one was still fine and will probably be on sale soon, but this refurbished Galaxy Watch 7 has LTE. I can set up fall detection and use the emergency SOS feature in case of an emergency when my phone is out of reach or broken. Safety first. I can also leave my phone at home and still receive or make calls.

Today, I did my longest bike tour this year so far. I went north to a lake in a neighboring district, mostly following the Weser-Harz-Heide route, which I already partly followed on my journey from Kassel to Braunschweig last year. There I sat down on a bench for half an hour and then returned. I had plenty of headwinds on the way there and a bit of tailwind on the way back, although the wind was mostly from the side. This time, I luckily did not mess up the OsmAnd tracking. Despite the wind, it was a lot of fun!

Yesterday, before our second (and last) move today, I took the opportunity to take a relaxing ride on my bike along my running route from some years ago and enjoy the nature.
