New bike season

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Yesterday, I started my new bike season and took my bike for a fun ride of about 25 km. I rode the first part of the “Städtepartnerschaftsradweg Braunschweig - Magdeburg” (City partnership cycle path Braunschweig - Magdeburg) between my hometown and a village called Königslutter. The weather was perfect and I truly enjoyed it. For the way back, I took the train that I reached just in time.

This time it’s just a station to change to another train. Another hour and a half to my new/old home station.

I visited this place four years ago, but today my family and I went to the Todtnau Waterfall again. This time there’s a new suspension bridge from which you can see the waterfall from above and get an even better view of the valley in the black forest.

Enjoying the nice weather, my monthly review will be a little late. 🌷

Part 1 of the move (Kassel to Braunschweig) is complete. Today we dropped off the van, handed over the apartment, and took the opportunity to take one last walk through the nearby park and nature. Part 2 (second home to new primary residence) will follow soon.

I did not want to miss the chance to take one (maybe) last picture of this beautiful symmetrical view.

Just a few more days before I leave Kassel after two and a half years. Feeling grateful for everything this city has given me and excited for what’s ahead!

Today, after a short evening shift in the old/new apartment, I reached 4000 km total distance with my Pedelec (the only legal option for an electric bicycle without insurance in Germany – up to 25 km/h is supported by a motor when pedaling).

First impressions with the soundcore AeroFit 2 open-ear headphones

Published on in ✍️ Posts

While I skipped the Black Friday deals, I couldn’t resist picking up the soundcore AeroFit 2 headphones a few days later. Being home alone over the weekend gave me the perfect opportunity to spend more than 24 hours testing them thoroughly. Here are my first impressions of these open-ear headphones.

Has someone a) found a bug or security hole in GoBlog or b) actually sent well over 5 million requests to my site to like my post about how to export GPX files automatically from Komoot? 🤔
