Aus den amtlichen Bekanntmachungen bezüglich Schulanfang und Sicherheit unserer Kinder: "Das Symbol für den Radweg ist nur informativ, da es einen solchen bislang in Weixdorf nicht gibt."
From the official announcements regarding the start of school and the safety of our children: “The symbol for the cycle path is only informative, as there is no such path in Weixdorf yet.”

Great initiative by the residents in Ardkeen and along Williamstown Road and the Dunmore Road. We need our local government to provide proper segregated cycle paths in order to improve safety and reduce traffic by giving people the option to cycle safely instead of driving!
I just signed and I hope you can sign too:

Just before Leer we went over a bridge with a busy road and here we took the cycle-path. But it's very narrow.

This morning's dog walk was through snow. There was quite a lot of the white stuff around, but
It still amazes me how efficiently the heat pump extracts heat from obviously cold outdoor air to make our home warm. I mean that both in terms of rapidly heating us up, and in that it does not use much electricity.
Three photos of the new cycle-path. This is rather nice. It's wide, smooth concrete. It's just a shame that at the end it ends a bit abruptly. In time this will link up at both ends properly and cyclists will have a new efficient route over the 30 km distance from Assen to Groningen. It's been taking a while, but more than half of it is complete now.

A few photos from today's recreational Assenliggers bike ride. In total I rode 81 km today, it was a bit warmer than last week. The sun even came out for a bit.
There were four of us today, @TheoZw (who led us this week), @twilwel, Gert and myself.

I could really do with a break from this damp and misty weather. It's not especially cold right now, around freezing point, but it's somehow piercing. A cold that you feel despite a decent jacket.
Anyway, more parcels of bike parts began their journeys to customers with a ride on my bike today. Sadly I've decided to stop accepting orders from the USA until we know what's going on with the wild man and his tariffs. When the UK changed its rules for imports it ended up costing me a lot of money (due to parcels sent early enough that they shouldn't have been affected not being delivered and instead being returned broken many months later) and I don't want to risk repeating that experience with the US.

Parcel deliveries this week. We've had a lot of fog this week. Freezing fog, even, as it's been below zero a lot of the time. Not especially nice weather to be out and about, tbh, but there you are. Anyway, it's safe for me to continue to cycle with my parcels of bicycle parts because the cycle-paths keep the cars away from me.

#Oxford #flooding update from @marstonbikepath
The cattle grid by the Uni side is flooded (3.30 pm), so pedestrians will get wet feet without waterproof footwear; the sides of the cyclopath after the grid were flooded. There is a path dry in the middle, but it looked like the water was rising in the surrounding ar... --carole #cycling #cyclepath #marston #marstonbikepath
These days, however, it is carrying water (i.e. doing its job) most months except in summer. Here is #photograph of the #channel running alongside a segregated #Footpath and #Cyclepath. Incidentally, this is almost exactly where, three months ago, I ran into a dog’s lead as the owners were walking on the footpath and the dog was on the grass verge on the right.
A couple of photos from earlier this week when I went out for an extra ride for exercise. This maintenance vehicle went no faster than 33 km/h, but it was impossible to overtake it safely because there was always someone coming in the opposite direction, or a blind corner, or a junction... So I followed it for a while before it turned off in a different direction.
Luckily, this one is electrically powered so there was no stinky exhaust. If it was one of the older models I'd have found a different route instead of breathing all the fumes.

Lastly, this is the #bridge over the #RiverExe, which is a sign that my home is a mere 5 km away. A sight that is always welcome. The bridge is old but it a #cyclepath was constructed as an extension to it on the far side, which blends in very nicely with the existing #masonry.
Some parts around the #Cyclepath form natural ponds.
And the last photos for today are these from Sunday's recreational ride.
While riding between a smallish town and a village we came across a road and cycle-path closure, but as usual (in the Netherlands) the experience for cyclists was still top-notch.
This has to be the case.
If cyclists give up cycling due to bad experiences when infrastructure disappears temporarily they may never return to regular cycling.
You'll find lots more examples of how to make sure that road works don't stop people from cycling on my blog here:

And then I took some parcels to the post office. This photo shows a bus-stop bypass. Note that the cycle-path is completely straight and wide enough for cyclists to pass each other, while also being very well separated from the road.
There are more good examples of bus-stop bypasses at this link to my blog:

A couple were walking in the same direction as me but I didn’t notice that their dog was on the other side of my path and it was still leashed, meaning the lead passed across the entire width of the #cyclepath. As visibility was low and the lead was black, on a grey background, I didn’t see it until the absolute last second. I got tangled in it but at least the person let go and so it didn’t get too entangled and I was able to come to a controlled stop.
It has been raining persistently today, the type of rain which, though not too heavy, soak into you if you are out in it for a period of time. It means that there are relatively few #pedestrians around to have to be wary of. However, on a stretch which is completely #car-free and where the #cyclepath and the #footpath run in parallel, I nearly came a cropper.
Photos from today's 50 km delivery round trip, taking bike parts to a customer in Beilen. Local deliveries are usually made by human power. Also some nice Dutch cycling infrastructure.
