@ascentale @bikenite A1. Pforzheim, Germany.
Today we did a memorial ride in which several hundred people from all over Germany took part. We are commemorating a cyclist, known as #Natenom, who always campaigned for safe cycle paths. Exactly two years ago, he was riding on a street near his home, when a car driver traveling at around 80 km/h hit and killed him.And we remember that in 2024 alone, 441 cyclists were killed in traffic accidents in Germany. 1/2

#bikenite@ascentale @bikenite A1/A8. In the photo, we are staging a 'die-in' in the shopping district of the city of Pforzheim.
The picture reminds me of the start of the movement in the Netherlands in late 1970s, when thousands protested against car violence, which made the whole country bicycle-friendly.
This shall remind you that every big change needed a start and maybe it will encourage you to believe in real change for the future.

#bikenite@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A1: Posting from Pforzheim, Germany, too. Actually I was at the same memorial ride for #RIPNatenom and all the other cyclists killed in traffic as @realSiegfried and we met there in real life. This region seems so unfriendly to cyclists that #Natenom called the region around Pforzheim "Bicycle Mordor" (#FahrradMordor in German). I will nevertheless do a bicycle tour here with a friend on Sunday as the countryside is actually quite nice here (#BlackForest).
