cycling

is what I do - almost every day.

 

street art photography

came along, while cycling - almost every day.

 

writing

I did write my first book.


cycling

what started as an occasional ride along the Lake Shore Drive in Chicago became an addiction over the years. As a matter of fact it took me another 6 year until I got my very first road bike, a cannondale. I pushed my commuter, a fuji royale, in my soon to become NYC bike shop and the rest is history.

After a spontaneous test ride only around 2 blocks - the shop is on the upper west side- , I thought that this would be the bike for me.

That was summer 2014.

A winter cycling solution came in sight in autumn 2019.

A faster 2-wheel version joined the fleet in June 2021.

street art photography

As I have been cycling through Central Park every morning back in 2014 - I started in August, the most hot and humid month in New York - I paused regularly for some minutes to take in scenery and have a zip of my drink. Soon I began to take a picture of my surrounding just before I continued my ride. And so it began.

In New York City I took pictures of the turtle bay, the Guggenheim Museum or the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In Berlin the street art caught my eyes.

 

writing

May 2020 was the month in which I began to write my first book.

I was planning it for many years.

Sitting in look down in the Mother City - Cape Town - gave me just the right amount of push to get started.

One year and 439 pages later and my very first book is written.
