2. Strasbourg: new wheels

Mission for today: Getting a set of wheels. Once I got my wheels, I went for a little detour on a trail on the outskirts of the city. Then I turned around to head back to the hostel. I was in the city, stopped at a light, making a left turn with other bikes, and another biker crashed into me. My phone flew out of the bike basket onto the street. I needed to get out of the intersection, and fortunately a young girl picked up my phone and brought it to me before a car drove over it!! I took a drink of water, and got back on the bike, and continued on my merry way. The most important is that nobody got hurt, the bike is still in one piece, and my phone doesn't have a scratch on it. Lesson learnt: use hand signals even though nobody else uses them!!Read more
