I know #cycling should be a good idea.

A far better idea if we had #roads (and drivers) that made that #safe.

BUT
It'd also be good if #cyclists considered their #behaviours as well.

A #family cycled past my window on the narrow pavement.
I can understand, the roads are narrow, busy & full of holes but being in a #village doesn't remove Rule 64

Their overheard plan was to #cycle through the #woods (walk only paths)
ignoring a great shared #track a few metres away.

Yesterday, I took a trip to a lovely place in the #Ammerland region - the #Rhododendron #Park #Gristede.

"The Rhodopark of the Bruns tree nursery is located in the Gristeder Forest. Chinese #redwoods provide shade, while other solitary trees are eye-catching amidst the splendor of rhododendrons. Over 1,000 different varieties of rhododendrons and outdoor azaleas form the core of this collection. This is especially worth seeing between May and June, when the park transforms into a colorful landscape of flowers. Two ponds and an impressive park pavilion complete the picture."

This place can be explored for free, so if you're ever in the area, make sure to pay it a visit: https://www.wiefelstede-touristik.de/parks-gaerten/parkanlagen/rhodopark-gristede
