Biking

I ride both road and mountain bikes. Freiburg sits at the edge of the Black Forest, a perfect location for a bike enthusiast.

Here below I selected some of the nicest rides I’ve ridden in the past years, the yearly appointments with friends to ride few days together. Out of curiosity, I have also created a map of all my rides (updated Oct 2026).
