Paid a visit to this famous nightriding road in Shanghai, where you constantly have bikes swooping by at 50+kph speed.
Second and last freewheel muni ride of my holidays:
Kind of an adventure with wild boars on the trails (quiet scary as the mother wanted to protect her kids), lizards on my uni and some amazing trails with stunning views!
8.7km in total, 510hm
Love my look trail lock pedals, grip and the ability to change up my footing.
First uni ride in ~5 years (?). Got a nice 29er second hand so i can run my very enthusiastic whippet puppy. Managed 12.75km on a beautiful winter morning (without the dog). Fun to be back on one…
My latest ride from Yesterday. It was a little bit hard with the 24" Muni to road 20 km and 400 hm but it was a great Tour.

Hey @Felgenbremse,
Your pictures didn’t upload properly. It’s a known issue on Discourse, but I don’t know what causes this because normally, you can’t send a message when the pictures aren’t uploaded yet.
Di you remember if you did anything specific?
I thunk it wasn’t finished with the Upload, i was too busy i think.
Was it from your phone, and do you know what connection? 4g, 3g, other?
Yes it was from my phone, i think it was 4G.
Does it matter from which device the files are sent?
It shouldn’t, but I’m trying to pinpoint what seems to be a bug
Before heading into the office today I noticed that it looked like rain but since the weather service claimed it would not happen I risked it and came in in a t-shirt. That was a bit mistake, so I had to take refuge in a cafe on the way.
While sitting there I started to read an lighthearted news article about “101 reasons to love Oslo”.
My favourite was this one, reason 10. I shall let you guess why!
For those that cannot read Norwegian (ok, that is likely most of you! ), here is a translation
- Look and don’t be seen at Korsvoll
Havnabakken (The harbor hill), on the border between Nordberg and Korsvoll, is technically a road, but there is also a park, one of Oslo’s steepest and least crowded, with an unbeatable view of the city and the fjord. Here you can see author Erlend Loe coming out of the woods daily and plunging down the hill on his unicycle, naive and super at the same time.
The hand drawn image of Erlend on a unicycle was animated in the original page.
EDIT: OK I extracted it
P.S. Here is where I found the article (it is partially paywalled)

Interesting riding technique of Erlend.
(Kicking spokes with one foot)
Yes I have cycled with him in real life. He always does this!
Took part in Save The Ride with @Onehunna.
It was only thanks to unicorn power that we made it through the ride. 22 miles with no preparation on my part is one of my better ideas…
Cobblestones. Why did it have to be cobblestones at the finish line? You can sense our fear of them easily.
With work sometimes I have to work at various client’s sites. Site allowable work hours being 7am to 3pm.
So before driving home, I get to explore the areas around site.
This is North Richmond, on the edge of North West Sydney, at the foot of the Blue Mountains.
Totally cool pictures
Nice to see Felix also!
