You just have to stroll through here. There are many small shops and a number of bars with nice outdoor spaces. The rosé wine from the area is also very tasty.

July 29, 2022,Elbauf, Elbab ohn' Unterlass, so macht das Fahrradfahren Spaß

Another tour on the Elbe today, because the wind is enough as an obstacle and I don't need mountains as a challenge. Nevertheless, I rewarded myself with a beer at Watzke am Goldenen Reiter.

I needed fresh air and exercise, so I went for a bike ride along the Elbe in Dresden. Cycling in the sunshine is a wonderful thing.

Enjoy the fresh air on the last day of the year and let the day fade away. At that time, with temperatures above 10 degrees, there was a lot going on on the Elbe Cycle Path. It's fun as always.

With the bio-bike, against the wind and light rain, the tour was just OK. We didn't sweat and we were able to spend the rainier part of the day in various beer gardens. Good tour!

Picked up the bike again.
Rolled in perfectly.
Go straight back and have it fine-tuned 😄
Now it's back to full throttle.
I also picked up brakes for the other bike. I have to do one too 😅😁

AOK Plus Tour: nice round along the Elbe. With a small detour to the Niederwartha reservoir - just stay on the bike path (right turn), then it's the original route.
