Very scenic e-bike tour for airing out, testing fitness and a not-so-serious compatibility check 😉

Nice e-bike ride to clear your head and test your fitness. And eat chestnuts :-)

Today's motto was to "boot up" the body again after a severe flu. Instead of rocking steep trails, I used common sense and opted for a more subtle endurance lap. And I dusted off the old electric garden chair, oiled the chain and set off …

Scenic and varied "home round" with the e-bike.

Today the Jura was covered in thick clouds. The prospect of lots of mud and wet plant contact on an e-mountain bike round had driven me onto the asphalt and paved field paths. With the "electric garden chair", aka my old e-bike.

Comfortable e-bike tour via Romont to Biel and back along the Aare.

Today we wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather and decided to take a bike ride.

We started in Bettlach and cycled up to Romont via Grenchen. From there, behind the Bözingenberg, we pedaled through the beautiful - seemingly remote - high valley to Vauffelin and later whizzed past …
