Also, what do they mean by High Level. Currently you need to have level B1, which is in line with many other countries. B1 is a good enough level to let you function in society.

I’m managing to cycle to radiotherapy everyday using an e-bike as the hospital is uphill. I was told to stay active, so I took them at their word.

Most of the Union Jacks/Flags on Meole roundabout are upside down.

I recommend something like the Bay Cycle away for a first multi day trip. There is a train line along much of the route allowing for an escape route for bad weather. I took the train to my end point one day, and rode to the start, turning a headwind into a tailwind.

I was lucky to see a physio for an initial assessment with back pain. Pilates was recommended, and has worked for me. If it had been anything more serious the physio would have referred me.

I’ve done both, but it’s a lot easier if I only use the T-bag. I always pack a foldable day sack which I can use for things I want during the train journey, but can pack it all into the T-bag when cycling.

I’ve just had to Google skirt guard as I’ve never come across them. What a great idea.

You never find an article about the best style of skirt to wear while cycling. I find above the knee works best, as below the knee has a tendency to catch the wind and blow about.

Bonŝancon.

I started cycling as a teenager as it gave me freedom to go places. Every weekend I would explore the local villages by bike. When I went to Sixth form I could leave home half an hour later if I went by bike instead of by bus, and get home earlier as well.

Dankon, mi antaŭĝojas legi ĝin.

Kie vi trovis ĝin? Mi ŝatus aĉeti ĝin por legi.

Yes, not only is it a wheel bending style bike rack, but it’s also on a slope. It’s a challenge to load up the bike while it is trying to role away.

I decided to relive my childhood with the smell of burnt turnip.

I have been learning Esperanto for 8 months now and am already reading my first book in Esperanto. I was able to join my local Esperanto club after only 3 months of learning and make an attempt at conversation.
