‘Tis the season to be mucky. Especially as it’s rained most of the last fortnight, and despite promises to the contrary the cycle lanes are still not cleaned. Not that I ever believed they would be, based on Ostfildern’s record.
Our poor bikes are looking reproachful at the moment but as I keep telling them, they are working bikes, not toys, so this is bound to happen sometimes and it’s better to be covered in mud than dust. I’ve promised them a good clean for new year. Hopefully.
If it isn’t raining for the entire holiday.
Still, we’re over the winter equinox, so things can only get better…

Hi Tony: I’m sure our bikes and your cars could form a support group for abused vehicles…
Hello Simon: Glad you enjoyed it. I’m not sure our neighbours bikes have moved all summer, which is a shame…
