The so-called tractor bollards are a sensible and highly effective measure against illegal motor vehicle traffic. Only such massive barriers can convince even stubborn motorists who ignore prohibition signs. 👍👍👍Hopefully, even drivers of extremely high-legged pseudo-off-road vehicles (so-called "SUVs")!

Great Peat Bog

Highlight • Natural

Unfortunately due to the Bastauwiesen not recommended by bike. All gravel and split roads. Better to drive the streets by bike

July 1, 2023,Entschädigung für die Topstone Lady 🚴‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Yesterday we were supposed to pedal to Wendland (210km) the Topstone Lady was very hot, but when I showed her the weather report, thanks to Wakantanka, she gave up. For today a small but fine compensation. 🚴‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Our species is going more and more crazy, if I were Christian I would be dreaming of the seven horsemen of the apocalyptic, with the last one (ourselves) now on the way. But I stand with Wakantanka and he says "nature will judge according to our finale" in this sense I was in the moor with the Topstone Lady 🚴‍♀️🙋‍♂️

The lady was already pissed off, I think it's ok now. Told her that at least 2-3 200s are still coming for her 🚴‍♀️🙋‍♂️

The Topstone Lady wanted to get out into the sun and matter again. We both could have done without the strong east wind 🚴‍♀️🙋‍♂️
