    Within a Days Ride — Lens-Artists Challenge #203

    Hi All 👋 My entry for this weeks challenge, set by Anne from Slow Shutter Speed: Local Vistas.

    These are our bikes, Stormy (mine) & Kali (Susan’s). These are our only mode of transportation; as well as doing all our shopping with them (yes, we have a trailer for them), we also go sightseeing with them.

    Kalkhoff E-Bikes — Fan Of… #115

    Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).

    This week’s Fan Of… Our Kalkhoff e-bikes which are totally awesome & have changed our lives.

    My wife & I are just entering our 10th year without a car & couldn’t be happier about it. Up until last year, we went everywhere by public transport or on foot. Last year, with the pandemic, came major travel restrictions, especially so on public transport. As restrictions have started to lift, we are still not overjoyed by the prospect of sitting in an enclosed space with others to travel & have become confined to where ever we can get to on foot.

    Until last month, that is, when we took delivery of our 2 new Kalkhoff Agattu 1.S XXL e-bikes (the shot below was taken the day after we got them) & we couldn’t be happier with them

    Happy Anniversary– Fan Of… #110

    Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).

    This week’s Fan Of… celebrating another anniversary with my awesome wife, Susan (? click to check out her site) — Happy Anniversary, Sweetie

    We’ve been together 24 years now, & married 18. We don’t have a car through choice & so have recently been saving like mad to get ourselves a couple of long-distance e-bikes. They arrived just over a week ago, in time for our latest anniversary, & the adventures have already started. We will be using the local canal paths to get around & explore as many of the local attractions as possible by bike.
