After a surprisingly quick flight, I headed straight out for a run – pretty much the first thing I always do after a long-haul flight. 🏃♂️ Just getting outside, moving my legs and enjoying a bit of New York before heading into the office.
It’s a quick stay this time. Two university classes tomorrow

A trip to a new city without going for a run? Not really my thing. 😄
After sightseeing in Jerusalem, I had some more work to do at the university. And when that was finally done, I somehow found enough energy to get out again. Taxi to the beach and off I went. I’m in Tel Aviv, right on the Mediterranean

Due to time constraints, sightseeing was limited to the Old City and not extensive, but rather to the essential sights.
I traveled to Jerusalem by train. A simple exercise taking about 40 minutes. The tracks are about 80 m underground and it takes about 5 minutes with the escalators to get to the top

After work this morning, it was finally time to explore Tel Aviv. ☀️ The Komoot data isn’t right, by the way. I only used the recording to keep all the photos together, and this time even the time is wrong. No idea why, but it really doesn’t matter.
So after university, I went back to the hotel for a

I had a bit of time between work commitments to look around Basel. It’s a beautiful city – old, remarkably well preserved and carefully restored. And because the centre isn’t particularly large, it’s easy to explore on foot. 🚶
I particularly enjoyed the way the Rhine runs right through the city. It isn

A slightly shorter final stage, and completely flat. 🚴 This is also a route you could easily ride with children. It follows EuroVelo routes EV15, EV5 and EV6 and runs alongside the canals for almost the entire way.
It’s a lovely route and, not surprisingly, quite a popular one. There isn’t a continuous

I had some time this afternoon and wanted to have a proper look around Colmar. 🚶
The old town is quite something. Narrow streets, centuries-old houses, beautifully restored buildings – and so much of it still there that whole parts of the centre look almost untouched. 🏘️
No wonder the place attracts

My hotel in Strasbourg was only a few hundred metres from the Canal du Rhône au Rhin, so I was back beside the water almost as soon as I set off. 🚲
At first, Strasbourg was still very much around me. Houses, roads and the usual city surroundings, but with the canal already leading me out of town. Little

I don't even know what to write about this wonderful city.
I'll start with the cycling infrastructure. There are a lot of cyclists, and I'm not surprised at all, because there are very, very many cycle paths. Many are completely separated from other traffic and also from pedestrians. So, a whole traffic

Today I continued towards Strasbourg, once again riding alongside the canal for almost the entire route. 🚲
It was just as peaceful as the day before, but there was much more to see on this stage, both in the landscape and in the engineering along the canal.
There are plenty of good places to stop along

This was day one of my ride from Saarbrücken to Basel, always following the canals through France, with a longer stop for my job in Strasbourg. Around 340 kilometres in total – so not exactly a huge tour this time.
A quick note for anyone planning to ride this section: accommodation between Saarbrücken

Sightseeing in Saarbrücken
I’m on my speaking tour at the moment, and this time I have engagements at the universities of Strasbourg and Basel. 🎓 With enough time between the two dates, the obvious question was: why not take the bike and ride from one to the other? 🚲
That’s exactly what I decided to

Great weather, amazing city – doesn’t get much better than this! ☀️🏃♂️ The paths along the Seine were really busy today, but I loved running along the river.
I would have loved to keep running, but I was just too tired. So just a shorter run than usual today. Paris isn’t going anywhere. 🇫🇷😊
