Englander in Berlin

@TommySiegel @NewYorker Well it made me laugh.
It's nice to have a bit of light simple humour right now.

@ChaponaBike123 We have them where I live in Munich, not the same design, but same idea.

I don't use them much myself, mostly because I'm not used to them. I'm fairly new in Munich, but I see them used by others, helps with starting as you're not having to lift the bike and can give a shove.

@WorldBollard To see something you have to first be looking.
Looks like a typical place where people start driving before they are ready. Setting the phone, checking kids, fastening seatbelt 'cause it's beeping.
They're in a carpark. Why concentrate on driving, what could possibly happen?

@carlafrancome @chausseedeforme New Bike not setup quite right or unknown condition?
Either way 100 miles is brutal with anything like that and would definitely expose any niggles. 😔

Hope you can enjoy getting back to cycling. If it's a permanent problem there's always recumbent bikes or e-bikes 😊

@joncoopertweets My first thought.

That will REALLY help get your Bird Flu problem under control.

@vulpine2020 @Bikery1966 Ok, I won't disagree with you on that. I would also cycle more defensivly. I would also agree that he is being confrontational, which can definitely be criticised.
However, had the driver slowed and ensured the way was clear, as required, there would have been no confrontation.

[Englander in Berlin @BerlinEnglander]

@vulpine2020 @Bikery1966 That was pretty much the first blink, my driving instructor would have ripped me a new one had I started indicating there.

Still doesn't retract from the fact that the cyclist had right of way and the driver didn't even attempt to give way.

[Englander in Berlin @BerlinEnglander]

@vulpine2020 @Bikery1966 The driver indicated pretty much as they turned and ignored the right of way of every cyclist or pedestrian. There was almost no reaction time.

Luckily it was a proficient cyclist there and not a child, or an elderly pedestrian with slow reactions.

@petitecycliste Some tbings are just not to be messed with in Germany.
Sausage is one of those.

@drbecky my view at the breakfast table and immediately thought Thumbnail Moon rather than crescent moon. Your plan to change it's official name seems to be working. So...

Sun rising behind a Spring Thumbnail Moon.

@petitecycliste It can happen, but that it wasn't reported and changed before the next guest checked in isn't a great look.

@azaz_ovedya @Beersteve @ScottIngram334 @adultmomband Several people have said things along the lines of a thief couldn't afford the tech.
My first thought was exactly this. Why do they think thieves would BUY the tech, they're thieves!

[Englander in Berlin @BerlinEnglander]

@TWBFarms @Tesco Because supermarkets are only interested in profits, like any big corporation.
Also the rushed trade deals with Australia and New Zealand gave their farmers open access to the British market, better even than that of British farmers, allowing them to under cut those farmers.

[Englander in Berlin @BerlinEnglander]

@SCynic1 And Romany, and homosexuals, and disabled and political opponents and pretty much anyone who didn't fit the plan.

Yes, mostly Jews, but not only Jews.

[Englander in Berlin @BerlinEnglander]

@JasonTo40895381 @BGatesIsaPyscho It also depends on the topography and the camera angle.
It's basically just perspective, these people know that, but admitting they know would spoil the narrative.
Or they really do think railway lines meet at the horizon. As a 5 year old believes.

[Englander in Berlin @BerlinEnglander]

@VIVADENXCIX @andjamwar You mean like having sovereignty to set property tax laws independent of the EU?
Yes, the UK can trade with all the countries they already traded with, but with the freedom to use their own treaties. Strange they're the same or worse. Has the UK less trading power than the EU?

@savannahelisse @Loveisland10023 I don't understand why you think it doesn't make sense that someone would take 40 MA pills.
Not everyone is well educated. Not everyone knows how the menstrual cycle works.
If someone believes sex=baby then they could take the pill after, regardless of their time in the month.

@AlexRactrium @REFLACTtraining Benzin Autos sind nicht anderes. Nicht Alle fahren mit nur 1L pro 100km.

Man entscheidet was man braucht, recherchiert welche Autos passt und entscheide welche unter ihn hat man Lust.

Manche sind besser in der Stadt, manche für Strecken. Wenn man Falsch kauft, kostet es Geld.

@drbecky_ After a long walk through Munich was treated to a fingernail moon setting over the river Isar in a beautiful dusk sky.

@Midge1415 Someone chained their bike to yours?

You have an obviously expensive bike?
In Berlin that's a classic thief tactic, so you can't move your bike and they come back later with a van and an angle grinder.

Could also just be an idiot not paying attention.
