Ich komme mit Fahrad

Today was a special day, I rode my bike to work! It’s been warm this week so I was thinking about it but the kicker was that I was already planning to wear a sweatshirt and sneakers which is much better for biking than a dress and heels. Unfortunately, when I got outside it was not so warm. Also unfortunately, I brought my coffee in a travel mug but the roads were so bumpy it was bouncing all over and I had to hold it in my hand.

Tonight, I will ride it home in the dark. I have a light and a neon green helmet but it is still not as safe as during the day. Since I didn’t have a light on either of my New York bikes it’s probably been 10 years since my last night-time bike ride.

As of the past few days, I’ve been listening to German musik. No, not Rammstein. There was this one song that used to be over-played on VIVA, Berlin City Girl by Culcha Candela (sorry, I can't post a US accessible video). I couldn’t stand it at first because the video was really douchey but then I started to like it because they sing in Deutsche. Most of the music here is the same as we have in America plus some Take That and Robbie Williams. Antje was repulsed by my confession that I wanted to download Berlin City Girl and she recommended a ton of better music for me to try out. Even our IT guy Rico is going to pitch in! It’s fun to listen to music in German because I sort of get the words and where I don’t it doesn’t matter because it’s still a good tune.

You may notice something different about the blog. I've made the switch to Verdana. I prefer Calabri but Verdana is the closest option within blogger.
