Paris would not be a great place to go bike riding.
In San Francisco, there are a lot of hills. Bike riders have to take specific routes that are flatter with large bike lanes in order to be safe. But these routes are so congested with bikers that there is a long queue of bikers. I'm just worried one day someone in the front falls and creates a chain reaction and every bike behind crashes and falls over as well. Urban planning is definitely a difficult thing to do! You have to create a design that caters to cars, buses, taxis (taxis and buses get special lanes and special roads in San Francisco; downtown Market Street, the main street of San Francisco is only open to buses and taxis in the downtown area), trollys/streetcars, and cyclists!
Riding home for Francois-Paul Friday…..
I know,I know….it’s the same watch as last Friday but I can’t take it off. I just love it too much. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Let’s see some FP Journe watches Christian ...
Av, always a bit of envy when I see this one…
I’m too attached to my CS and I have other priorities on the shopping list but it is just so pure and perfect. Nic pic. Enjoy your weekend
I love this combination Mike. Cherry red. Superb!
Have fun and enjoy the weekend, my friend.
Thank you so much for saying that, dear Mahesh.
When it’s right it’s just right. Hope you are keeping well. Enjoy your weekend 🤗
Very green to ride a bike!
I haven't ridden a bike in a while! And I've never ridden a bike while wearing a nice watch since I was little kid. I had a little tumble off the bike and I scratched my Casio at the time. Beautiful watch! I didn't know you cycled regularly! And with such...
Thank you, Patrick :-)
Denmark is cycling country and we have a big culture for riding a bike as part of our infrastructure. All kids are thought how to ride and in school, kids at a very early age, learn about the traffic rules for bikes. You will see bicycles everywhere and l...
Very cool! And very smart of you to avoid cobblestones!
I had forgotten that Denmark is a big bike riding nation. I need to travel more! And I've never been to Copenhagen! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie "Druk" also known as "Another Round" in UK/USA markets. Unfortunately in the USA, where I live, mos...
What you say has some very good points...
That there is always a context around a solution. I know NYC have been trying to learn about bike culture from Copenhagen. I saw the same in Paris with my wife. It did not look safe, because the culture and knowing how to ride safely has to be learned bot...

I used to cycle to work sometimes.
But the cycle infrastructure here is not exactly great. Throwback picture for me; I wasn’t wristed with a Journe on Friday. ...
That jade bracelet is really pretty with your CB!
I thought NYC was building lots of bike lanes and trying to implement it on a big scale? PS. Im still just enjoying being reunited with the CS- But now Im thinking if I should pick up my CB from the bank?
You are correct, there have been huge improvement in cycle infrastructure.
But, nothing near enough and it’s deadly dangerous on the streets as both drivers and pedestrians are just not used to cyclists. Fortunately my commute is simple and 90% off street. Padj always loved that bracelet too.
Thank you, my friend. I think cycling in Paris is a bit hazardous - at least the last time I checked. But a perfect place for an electric vehicle.
I’m quite sure my next car will be electric. There are some cool options coming out.
Totally agree about cycling in Paris Christian. Super crazy dangerous city to cycle in and I would never do it. Happily I do not live in Paris nor anywhere close 😉
As for all the electric vehicles coming out, it is a great time to take advantage of all the new tech 😉👍
I agree about electric cars. I don't dislike my Tesla. Sure, some parts aren't perfect. But otherwise, it's a very good car!
My biggest gripes; 1, glass isn't hydrophobic and the water sticks on the glass (I apply RainX and this product helps make the glass more hydrophobic); 2, car gets hot due to the glass roof (I have sunshades); 3, interior materials aren't the quality I'm ...
I'm thinking about it...
I'm thinking about upgrading to the S. Another person told me to upgrade my brakes. I've never modified any of my cars before, but seriously these brakes are dangereux! But I was thinking of saving the money and buying more TSLA stock instead too... Hmm.....
You're making me miss my former company car now... A Model S P100D.
Look at LCID stock; here's a quick and very basic analysis... This is an electric car company. Market cap is currently only $30B. It’s primary investor is the Saudi Government. The company is headquartered in Newark, CA near Fremont where Tesla has their ...
