My average day is walking and cycling, sometimes the bus. If I need to travel outside of the city, I prefer trains.

Details: I have a pedelec and a bicycle trailer, which i can use for stuff i don't want to carry. Most of the times when i am cycling, i am using the pedelec, but i have mountainbike as well.

Time is in one direction, so traveling back is not included:

  • Groceries: 10 minutes walk (one direction) or 2 minutes cycling for the nearest store.
  • Dentist: 8 minutes walk
  • Work: 15-20 minutes cycling
  • Gym: 30-40 minutes cycling, i often make a stop on the way home to buy some groceries
  • Visiting relatives (outside the city): 90 minutes of walking/bus/train/bus/walking

The gym is the furthest i cycle in my daily life.

I sometimes visit other cities via train. I can store my bicycle safely at the bicycle parking house at the main train station (1€ per day) or just take the bus to the train station.
