A lovely autumn commute

The photos on this page were taken on a lovely day in the autumn, when I was cycling to work for a late shift.

This is a bit of a scenic route, about 2 km longer than the shortest route. But on such a beautiful day I like taking this detour.


My commuting tool of choice, a Scorpion recumbent trike, made by HP Velotechnik. All pictures were made sitting in the seat of this trike, which is quite low above the ground.	Starting off. This is actually one of the few places where I'm using the road. Most of my commute is over the excellent cyclepaths we enjoy in the Netherlands.

Purpose-built cyclepaths are usually a red-ish color in the Netherlands.	"Oude Bossche baan". Long ago this was the main roed to Den Bosch. Now this piece is just a cyclepath along some sport fields.

Driehoeksbos. This is part of the "rondje Eindhoven" (around Eindhoven) cycling route.	Crossing into the "Achtse Barrier". This is like a cycling "highway", running through the entire district.

A park with playgrounds on the right,	and houses on the left. This is one of my favorite cyclepaths in Eindhoven.

Crossing the "Franse baan".	And into the outskirts of Eindhoven.

The leaves are falling.	And mushrooms are fruiting all over the place.

Still following the "rondje Einhoven" route.	But here we turn off, across the viaduct over the highway.

Spokes glittering in the sunlight. Live to ride. :-)	The road around "Aquabest", a local natural pool.
