From topping up your sun tan to filling up your car – it’s not exactly what you want to be thinking about after a relaxing holiday.But if you’re at school, it means no more lie-ins until midday. Even if you’re bursting with energy as you get back to reality, fully charged batteries will eventually lose performance. So what’s the best way to fight against that? We have the right solution for you, to ensure you don’t lose motivation.

Have you ever walked down a street in your city and imagined what it would look like without any parked cars? Those empty parking spaces and areas are full of development potential that just needs to be identified. Samuel Hönle’s master’s thesis focused on the transport revolution, and more specifically on cycling infrastructure. He analysed the impact of new cycle paths, and his research produced some exciting results.

Again, the main takeaway is “Less is more”! We took as little luggage with us as we could for our trip from Tromsø to Å, keeping it in two small panniers on the handlebar and saddle. Our aim was to be “Team light and fast” and to see as much as possible on our two road bikes in a short space of time, so there was no space for more luggage. I hadn’t worried about that before, but this time I was a bit more nervous, especially because regularly checking the webcams and weather forecasts showed that the weather in northern Norway seems to be unpredictable – so everything from a summer outfit to clothes for skiing trips had to come with us.

The years of lagging behind compared to other European countries are now finally to be partially made up for. An important step in the right direction for more safety for cyclists will be taken in autumn. Changes such as a legally defined minimum overtaking distance, a green arrow for cyclists at traffic lights and side-by-side cycling are just a few examples in the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), which will come into force on the 1st of October 2022. Is this the long awaited starting signal for safe cycling in Austria? We provide you with an overview of those regulations that, in our opinion, are the most important and beneficial for cycling in the future.

How are features created in our app? Are the wishes of our users really fulfilled and what is the inspiration for new functions within the app? We asked these and more questions to our tech pros who are behind the development of the app. If you've always wanted to know how the feature development process works, today is your day to satisfy your inquisitiveness.

Cargo bikes would be practical – if they weren’t so cumbersome. Cargo bikes are becoming more and more popular, but public areas often don’t have designated parking spaces for them. Cities are working to change that.

At a red light, I was waiting aside a motorcyclist I encountered, as we both descended the same hill, he sped it quickly and I joined a few moments later neatly passing the queuing cars. A short conversation ensued, continuing off from the previous intersection. He said he was jealous of the exercise I was getting while biking, I asked him if he’d consider biking but he said he could never bike in Jerusalem.

You have to look hard to find a family in Austria without a woom bike. If you leave it too late for Christmas or Easter, you’ll be faced with empty shelves in specialist and online retailers – and even though these bikes aren’t much cheaper second-hand, you’ll have to be quick if you want to get hold of one from those markets too. That’s because Austrian children’s bike brand woom has achieved cult status, and deservedly so!

Are you thinking about switching from sitting in a car every day to going by bike? Do you have friends who swear by cycling to work in all weathers and rightly ask yourself, “How does that work?” But do you still not have enough information or arguments to make the switch, or have questions that your cycling colleagues couldn’t answer? Then you’ve come to the right place.
