yea i actually stopped at the door thinking grab your boots, but just a quick roll I thought it’ll be ok  

Sometimes you just land wrong a little. I have big tree trunks for legs so maybe i’ll come good. Just a bit sore to stand on atm. 

Was just an unlucky ride for me this morning. I’ll do a small video it may make a fun watch.

I do occasionally take breaks, but mostly for photos and eating or drinking, I have grown pretty used to riding long distances by now.

 

Btw. I still need to post some pics of the last two days as promised.... here I have just left Tulln and am continuing eastwards:

 

 

Here I am approaching Vienna:

 

Crossing Vienna is surprisingly boring, you can do the whole distance on this veritable Autobahn of cycle paths you can see on the left:

 

The country becomes pretty flat and a bit boring after Vienna, lots of this....:

 

... and this. I believe this is the longest completely straight stretch of asphalt I have ever seen, at least here in Europe. You could have landed the Space Shuttle twice over easily (if the path had been wider):

 

A couple of kilometers before my third stop at Hainburg I rode through this stretch of country filled with dozens and dozens of wind turbines. It would have made a great backdrop for a scifi film like "Gattaca" or something similar:

 

I also rode past this ancient triumphal arc from Roman times (it used to be four pillars in a square, with four arcs and a roof). The town right next to it actually had a genuine Roman name too: Petronell-Carnuntum.

 

A view of the Danube from the riverside at Hainburg:

 

The next day I rode on towards Bratislava. Almost in the center of the picture, to the left of the bush, you can see the tiny silhouette of Bratislava Castle, the "Hraj":

 

There is a cool viewing platform on the top of the tower of the suspension bridge spanning the Danube:

 

A view of the Hraj while crossing the double-decker bridge, under the deck for the cars:

 

I rode through the downtown of Bratislava and sw this unusual sculpture. I wonder who that guy is supposed to be - maybe some resistance soldier from WW2?

 

I took another pic of the viewing tower from right next to the Hraj:

 That's it! A great finale to a project that took me three years to finish, from a single tentative day trip on my V10F over two, three and four day trips on my V11 to this last four day trip on my EX20S.

Coming up next: pics from the last stage of my third and so far final great project, namely riding the whole length of the river Salzach cycle path from where it empties into the Danube in Passau over Salzburg to what is usually considered its source, the Krimml waterfalls, the tallest in Europe.

A nice view of the water and a mega yacht. The billionaire that owns it doesn't seem to use it too often.

You should pop over and take his little boat for a spin round the harbour !

Despite the vast price difference, you could probably have him in a race too !

I would love to ride my Mten4 all around the interior that yacht. Speaking of little boat, there is one stowed in the stern (back) of the boat

Maybe because he is using one of his many bigger yachts.

Yeah, I don’t get over to the west coat much these days. My poor west coast yacht doesn’t get much use. Either does my east coast one. Sadly my slightly smaller yacht anchored in Lake Ontario sees more action as of late.

And what is the favored EUC when on a mega yacht? Begode A2 for practicality, or InMotion V13 just to show off that you have the space, or InMotion Adventure for a mix of both?

I think the S22 gold edition for those with impeccable taste.

[Robse]

there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but there is a RS19 ! 😁

You find the weirdest things...

...from which we can presumably infer that a)fairies are thieving bastards, b) that they haven't understood the concept of doors, and c) there is no room for any of them to sleep. Fascinating.

More like fairy garbage dump.

Came across this splendid example of pure nonsense work. The sewage company has changed the drainage system, and afterwards the asphalt workers have done their dirty work thoroughly dirty.      5 weeks later, test crew can't find the inspection covers...

My wall of GRIZ 

These have all been amazing pads. 

Many crashes & they still holding up so well.

The Fabolous Fury Freak Brothers came back as an animated series in 2021. Being a fan of the comix growing up in the 80's from going through my uncles 70's Playboy collection, I just had to watch their crazy antics in animated format. To my surprise, while watching the first episode, I noticed a background character riding what seemed like a Z10 on the side walk. Here is a screen shot. 

Why would there be an electric unicycle in the The Fabolous Fury Freak Brothers universe you ask? Well the this series, the freak bros end up smoking a joint that puts them to sleep for 50 years and wake up in the year 2020.  Anyway, though i would share the screen shot. 

[Robse]

this is totally spot on, the riding guy looks flaffy, sleepy, and with a little fat belly from doing nothing but riding and eating at burger world... the guy in the background reminds me of somebody who recently was cheated for a prize 😂😂

Looks like they took his wheel anyway and he was forced to pay up..

[Robse]

it's a bit stormy in Denmark today. Passed a chestnut tree where it was raining chestnuts - came to think of this little movie (below).  Yes, that's correct, no EUC to be seen - mine are not rainproof.

Met a reindeer in the woods, so made a suggestion ahead of the Christmas rush.

I picked up a used old point and shoot camera recently to try to get back into digital photography after some time off. I have a few film cams but sold all my dig kit. 

I'm liking the idea of EUC street photography, I might do a video about it maybe.

Went out last night to see if the camera works.

Here is a link to some of my old photo stuff

Some pics of my last big project, riding the Tauern cycle path in Austria, from Salzburg to Krimml. The tallest waterfall in Europe can be viewed in Krimml. That waterfall is also the source of the Salzach (which flows through Salzburg and joins the river Inn, which in turn joins the Danube in Passau). It was a two day trip, these pics are from the first day, in no particular order:

A couple of long exposures from the other night.
