Interesting fact: #cycling with a trailer (~12 kg) with two babies (~8.5 kg each) feeling like a constant up hill with a grade about 2-3 degree.

Residential buildings in #Belgrade, former #Yugoslavia, built around 70th. I like these #brutalism elements of urbanism. What is cool is that this inner yard is ~5 meters above the ground, a space without cars. Feels like temperature is 5-7 degrees less here. Very important when it is 40C outside!

"Peacemakers" of the past and the present. And I should quote Churchill:

"We seem to be very near the bleak choice between War and Shame. My feeling is that we shall choose Shame, and then have War thrown in a little later on even more adverse terms than at present."

It is interesting that modernist architects of the former Yugoslavia did not know about #brutalism due to the Iron Curtain. They reinvented it by themselves independently coming to the idea that raw concrete is beautiful!

I like this idea of modernist architecture of 70s. So simple, so cool: let's just put the building on piloti (columns) and create for people protection from sun and rain. Especially when it is 40C outside in #Belgrade.

There is beautiful tradition in #Serbia to honor their dead by organizing and maintaining water sources along roads, so any traveller can fill their bottles.

Another day of #cycling along the Drina river, at the border between #Serbia and #BiH

I think it is the most vibe elder I even saw. Just for a second, this is something like federal road full of trucks and this man does not even a mirror to see cars behind!

Drina river. The river is the border between #Serbia and #BiH.

While I love #cycling #Serbia, street dogs is a very serious problem there. Most probably they won't bite you, but you cannot simply ignore it. And to be distracted at the road is very dangerous...

Drina river. It is not only river, but also a border between Serbia and Bosnia.

I finally got a week of vacation! Of course it means a new #cycling trip!

The first day, from Valjevo to Perucac (Serbia). A quite hard mountain pass named Debelo Brdo is left behind! Tara National Park is the next goal!

What is responsible consumption? For me it is not about buying "brand new eco-friendly device" each year, but to buy a Bluetooth adapter from aliexpress to renew and reuse my sony walkman bought 10 years ago.
