Current bicycling environment:

A surprisingly bicycle-friendly environment. The bulk of secondary roads have marked bike lanes. Many places have actual separate bike trails.

The only challenges are stray dogs and these unbelievable thorns that love to destroy inner tubes.

Zwift.

No cars, dogs, flats, headwinds,or rain. My derm doesn’t give me grief about sun damage. The fridge and bathroom are twenty steps away.

I ride with friends and family from across the USA.

Zwift is not perfect, but it is better than riding the streets.

My son is moving home while looking for another job. My bike should be coming with him.

If you will be buying a new bike, DO NOT buy a bicycle that is called BicyStar. It is sold at Wal-Mart. Looks great for $250, however the Shimano derailleur is not.If you don’t look closely, you think it is a Shimano (same font). Typical Chinese crap..

I finally entered a graveyard I had rode by before because I was wearing swimming trunks.
Here is a soldier who was killed in Kyiv (listed under his parents).
Battle of Kiev (1941)
Btw in Germany the date format they use is day.month.year.

There was a section with about 30 German soldiers killed in WW2.
Here is a German soldier killed on Hitler's last birthday.
Soldier on the right was killed on D-Day.

There is another section for WW1
Galizien (German for Galicia)

Here is a twofer, father/son(?) from WW1 & WW2

A couple of unknowns.
