\[I hope you will forgive my posting in English: please feel free to answer in German but I dont trust my grammar to write this properly in a foreign language\] ​ I was riding on a TT bike outside Oranienburg north of Berlin yesterday lunchtime when a sportscar suddenly swerved in front of me and then stopped: the driver got out and started shouting at me that that I should be on the cycle lane. It was a white "Fahrrad frei" lane (one of those lanes made out of red stones, not asphalt) and very narrow with pedestrians on it). I come from quite a rough city and lived in London where there is a lot of aggression on the roads, so my first priority was to make sure he wasnt going to hit me or take out a knife. He was screaming that he had followed me for a long way and I was in the middle of the street (I really wasnt, just not right in the gutter) and why dont I use the cycle lane, pointing at the other side of the road where there was a dotted line for bikes (no lane!). I tried to explain "fahrrad frei" but he just kept cursing. When I went to take a photo of his licence plate he started saying he had filmed me too! ​ Ive read the rules of the road carefully so I am pretty sure I was in the right here: there was no blue sign saying to use the cycle lane. I wonder whether I should have been more aggressive in asserting my rights. But I wanted advice from German cyclists how you would handle this kind of driver aggression. Like I said, where I come from, you need to be careful not to escalate and just glad they arent swinging punches! Ive never had an incident like this before, just the occasional horn beeping and buzzing. I want to give cycling a good name, so Im always careful to respect the rules and other users, especially pedestrians (hence i think its better to use road when there is a choice!). edit: thanks for all the comments everyone - feel much better now!

Ein Zusammenstoß mit einem Lastwagen, ein zertrümmertes Knie und eine Operation, um es mit einer Metallplatte wieder zusammenzusetzen. Eine Schwangerschaft, eine traumatische Geburt und die logistischen Herausforderungen, Dinge geregelt zu bekommen, wenn ein Baby im Spiel ist. So unterschiedlich diese zwei lebensverändernden Ereignisse scheinen, so viel haben sie gemeinsam. Und letztlich...

I was out on my regular ride and I noticed a rider gaining on me in the distance. I kept riding my normal pace and I could see he was working hard to catch up (that's what I'm telling myself anyway). When he finally caught up, he clung to my wheel and I pulled him along for the next 15Km. I've posted before curious to know what other riders think about while riding, but at the moment this guy caught up to me, my first and only thought for the next while was, "alright, LET'S GO!!!!". Some people might be mad that a total stranger would do this, but in fact, I was honored that someone of a higher caliber than me (since he caught up), felt I was keeping a good enough pace to draft me for such a long time. I'm sure he could have passed, and I don't care that he didn't. When we got to our fork in the road, he thanked me for the pull and we had a quick exchange of "where ya headed and have a great ride". This is one of the reasons I ride, what a great community! Frankly I was a bit honored. I'm not a pro by any stretch of the imagination, but I like to think I'm in pretty good shape. I don't know who this guy was, but he made my day!!! If you took the time to read this, I hope you all had a great ride today!

Na, habt ihr euch diese Woche auch über steigende Benzinpreise aufgeregt? Nein? Ich auch nicht. Die geheuchelte Kampagne gegen die Grünen hat noch mal an Fahrt aufgenommen. Immerhin wurden CDU/CSU und SPD in dem einen oder anderen Beitrag gestellt. Sie haben ja längst dasselbe beschlossen, trauen sich nur nicht, es zu kommunizieren. Kommuniziert werden muss endlich auch, wer für die miserablen...
