Okay folks, I'll give you the ultimate cheat sheet to French food. Everywhere you go you'll be proposed something sounding like "des croubitchoux à la gableuse with a little glass of bounette". Every village has its own very local specialty. How to decipher that ? Very easy.

Last week Oxygen took potassium on a date and it was just OK. Then yesterday I saw Oxygen with a date with Magnesium and I was like OMg.

OK, we forgot to eat a few artichokes and now they turned into these huge flowers… Bees look happy with them, though!

Hop on, ride off! 🚆🚲 As of today, bikes are welcome on-board of EU trains. All new and upgraded trains in the EU will have dedicated spots for full-sized bicycles. So, you can ride wherever the train takes you!

Despite appearances, this Parisian street is *not* closed to car traffic - I saw a few. Cars just happens to be the least efficient way, so no one uses them unless they have to. Simple!

We had a very enjoyable Kidical Mass ride today, despite the wet weather. But the hardest part was navigating the clumsy infrastructure.

20 changes in Paris in one minute – a part of a video I made in 2023 showcasing changes that were often quite recent at the time. Those same places now have much more greenery, so there will probably be a 2025 or 2026 version! ;) 1/2

This used to be a highway with lots of loud polluting cars just driving through Paris. Now, it is a beautiful pedestrian & bike path along the Seine for all to enjoy on the first spring-like day of the year.

After graduating in Computer Science, my oldest daughter has been looking for a job. Barely any interview in sight, but countless forms with weird questions such as: "What specific moment in your personal growth journey led to you realising that a career in technology at <CompanyX> was for you?" 😳

After 30 years of (nearly) daily service, my electric shaver died this morning. 😔 There was a little smoke, which was probably its soul reaching heaven. 🪦

In Aug 2024,

saw the somewhat controversial introduction of a bus lane on London Road. It was suggested that by converting one lane, congestion at a new pinch point would lead increased air pollution:

The opposite has in fact happened: air pollution has dropped!

Last week, I started listening to music on my bike with a speaker. I like the energy it gives. Today, a pothole sent it flying, and the car behind didn’t miss it 😢 I could only gather half the pieces.
