A quick blog post to document Monday’s mini tour to Bad Bellingen and back.
I wanted to avoid cycling along the Rhine cos it is so monotonous and boring on the German side (done it before and found it boring). I started ok but somewhere between Märt and Efringen-Kirchen all bicycle path signs took me down to the river. So I ended up on the Rhein-Radweg. On my way back, I took a different route via Istein village.
About 20 km one way. Easy ride.
Some snapshots
From Basel about 17 km one way.
Via Weil am Rhein, Binzen and Wollbach, along the railway tracks to Kandern.
Easy ride.
Wow, Google Maps now offers a bicycle option in its Get Directions menu. Though not for the route below.

In a 3sat Kulturzeit interview Heike Faller said if you really want to invest ethically, you need to understand the product you are investing in, e.g. a piece of land in an area that you know well or a local artist that you’ve met and believe in.
If the bicycle parking area is too large, people will forget where they left their bike.
Like at the Velo Parking at Basel SBB.
This evening a young woman was looking for her bicycle. A couple of days ago a young man was wandering up and down the aisles in search of his bike.
And the same has happened to me as well. I was extremely tired and couldn’t remember in which aisle I had left my bike.
In almost all cases, people grab their cell phone and call someone.
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could call your bike and it would identify itself by ringing out loud or flashing a light?
Which reminds me of another cool presentation I saw at Lift 11:
