While taking this photo and heading into the roundabout I heard a penetrating and irritating whistle causing me to stop.
In a polite way I was informed that taking photos while riding the bike is not allowed in Spain!!!
Ok, 95% of my photos are taken while pushing into the pedals! I missed to ask the question, if I have to stop or dismantle from the bike while taking a sip from my water bottle. I got a discount offered of 50%. I think, that discount was granted because I had my FFP2 mask at hand to ensure minimum exposure on all aspects at that very moment. All got properly documented on the receipt after online card payment! My confidence into the “Police Civil de Tráfico” has definitely increased after they helped me to understand the local rules.
Fair winds…
My arbitrary target set at the beginning of the adventure was to bike as many kilometres as we sail nautical miles. Some catch up happened on Lanzarote and the total kilometres 🚴♂️ ends only up to 1800 km – 700km short.😟
Nevertheless my target will remain unchanged for next year although I would like not only to sail more miles but also to clock more km on the bike.
