Commute with my E-Bike

A  quick summary of  around one month commuting with my E-Bike. Actually - it was the best decision ever. I do not use the car anymore during the week. I almost do all commuting with the E-Bike. One day home office ( recovering :-)  ) and 4 days by bike. Well, if it is not raining cats and dogs in the morning.

Getting up early (4a.m.) is sometimes hard, but after these 4 weeks I'm used to it. My wife is still thinking I'm completely crazy. But - starting at 6a.m. at work - means for me -  heading home at around 3p.m. Which gives me some more time to play with the kids etc.

My average speed is around 30km /h -  so I need ca. 1:30h - 1:40h to work. So, sports done for the day when I'm back home ( 90km by bike every day). I'm working out 3 hours per day, have fresh air. Do not pollute at all - and I'm feeling more healthier than before.

From time to time I have the opportunity to take some picture during my ride, taking picture is my hobby . Here some pics taken during commute.

Bike to Work - now this is getting serious

Image
So, taking a long time thinking about buying a E-Bike for my daily commute, I finally did it. Yesterday my ordered Giant Quick E+ arrived at the dealer. I've got a email message and almost couldn't wait for picking it up. The bike supports me till  around 45km/h. This way I can almost go with 33-35 km/h in average. This means almost one hour faster, than with my "normal" mountainbike on my commute.  My commute is about 46 km one way - so, going by my normal mountain bike was sometimes hard. However - I love to ride my bike, therefore I figured - ok - with an E-Bike you are faster but - to be fast, you need to pedal as you do before with your normal bike. This means still sports 😊.  Here we go:  As I live in Germany - I need to insure this bike. Here it is seen as a small motorbike because of the support till 45 km/h. It is hard to see, but on the rear - there is a number plate .... . Yes. This is Germany. Also I got a back mirror, although this is actuall...

Weitwinkel Sonnenaufgang --- 365 Tage Fotoprojekt -- Tag 59

Image
Sonnenaufgang 6:41 Uhr. Homeoffice. Bin gerade am email sichten. Mein Frau aus der Küche . “Hm, der Himmel ist ganz dunkel rot dahinten…”. Braucht kurz einen Moment bis das Gehörte ins Gehirn dringt - und bei dem Fotografen in mir ankommt. Ich drehe mich um und schaue aus dem Fenster. Tatsächlich. Der Horizont ist dunkelrot gefärbt. Das sieht gut aus - sehr gut sogar. Aber ich habe nur Homeoffice Comfy Sachen an ( also schlabberigerer JoggingAnzug samt BadHair Day). Egal - die alpha geschnappt. Weitwinkel ist noch drauf. Ab ins Auto, Scheibe kratzen ?, nein so kalt war es die Nacht doch nicht. Auf eine etwas erhöhte Stelle gefahren. Aber die Zeit ist gegen mich. Das dunkelrote ist schon einem orange gewichen. Sehr kurze Zeitspanne die da nur bleibt. Schade. Auch die Umgebung gibt jetzt nicht soviel her. Bleibt der Himmel. Die Bilder sind Out of Camera - nur etwas beschnitten, da es doch etwas weitwinklig war. Nicht so richtig was für das Auge. Beim ersten noch etwas besser mit dem...

Running 02.07.2017

Image
Today I was running in the morning, flat terrain, flat pace, almost flat heartrate. Need to loose weight. Besides increasing sports overall, I need to seriously check my daily calorie intake - and what I eat for this intake. Today I do eat to much carbos - and to less protein. I try to turn this around.
