Hello Jurgen,

What are you working? Thanks to Corona and home office, I'm only over 65.

I am a machine or system operator in a foam processing company in Ebersbach / Fils. I've been working here for a good two and a half years and cycle to the company as often as possible. I record all of the tours, but I only publish the round tours. So tour 175 can be seen again if it comes to that. If… Leer más

Uploading every 25th tour is of course a good tactic - I'm slowly running out of options on the way to work. Before Corona, I always drove the same route with few deviations, but since Corona I've tried to compensate for the many home offices with such variants.

Respect! How do you protect yourself against the cold that is causing me more and more problems with increasing age, for example. When the temperatures go to zero in the morning, I have problems with watery eyes that screw up my view.

Great tips and almost everything has been said.

I also drive all year round if the schedule fits. Only stop at minus 5 degrees.

The whole winter procedure is annoying, getting dressed takes longer than in summer. And overcoming moving out into the cold at 5 o'clock in the morning takes a lot of strength… Leer más

Lars, perfectly described, there is nothing more to add!

Everyone has to find out for themselves what is best for them. For example, my feet never freeze, so I can wear the same shoes in summer and winter. However, I will also get overcoats because I hate it when the water (when it rains) is in my shoes😉
