On the cycle paths of Germany the weekend brings out the equivalent of Sunday drivers in the Lake District. The route is made treacherous by hoards of people exercising or bimbling along on their bikes oblivious to their surroundings. So called "Nordic Walking" is also popular here and unlike in the posters advertising the sport showing athletic figures striding purposefully, in reality this consists of couples ambling along whilst dragging skipoles behind them. These obstacles are mostly concentrated in areas close to habitation, so in spite of a sunny Sunday bringing out more than the usual numbers of exercisers we managed a good pace and arrived at our destination in plenty of time to go to the local Roman museum.

Doesn't everyone seem to 'bimble' along to you 2 these days - even if Luke's bike is so properly heavily loaded so that the muscular ferryman winces I bet you just speed along ... I guess your muscles are very well developed after nearly 1500 miles - keep pedalling, no bimbling XX
