I cut the funding target to 250 EUR. Perhaps a bit more reasonable :)

24/6 Got my new panda trikot. Did just over 100k in it. Feels not just like merchandise, but does it's job well. Thanks WWF :)

18/6 Return trip to Kehl. Longest distance this year so far. A bit downhill at the start then lot's of time through pretty flat countryside.

17/6 Cycled from Zürich to the Suiss Alps. Very, very fun. Big mountains. Clean air. Lot's of sun and sweat. We just need to get the cars and motorbikes off those tight roads :)

16/6 Cycled to Switzerland. Very fun going through the black forest. Not so much via Zürich at night ^^
Update #1

Today I roamed around the Black Forest. 160km and a good warm-up for next week. Beautiful nature. Hilly. Nice tarmac. Cars are mostly careful and less agressive than in Berlin and Brandenburg. Motor bike gangs are around, but less noisy. Sunshine. Rabbits. Birds.

What also stuck to me were:
> So called Mitfahrbänke: https://mitfahrverband.org/mitfahrbaenke/. Cool idea. I also used to tramp around 30.000 km. Mostly great experience. Sharing is caring and often a good challenge for you to step out of your comfort zone. ///
> Until the Ministry of Transport allows cities more flexibility in deciding local speed limits I like the idea of painting "40" in the shape of hearts on the tarmac to remind motorists that residents would very much appreciate responsible driving. ///
> Wine: Have you considered where even bio wine is made? And the land footprint associated with it? Wherever you see wine yards there could be natural forest. ///
> Sources of water: In summar water is everything, when you go long. Graveyards sort of saved my ... multiple times, because every tiny village has one and more often than not the water is drinkable.

Warum ich mich für Artenvielfalt bewahren einsetze
All attention is on climate, yet biodiversity is disappearing fast. The WWF's Living Planet Report noted an average decline by 68% of birds, amphibians, mammals, fish, and reptiles since 1970. It has only gone downhill since.
I want to raise money to support the WWF's efforts to put the importance biodiversity on everyone's mind. For every EUR donated I cycle 1km by 2.7.
The term "peddling" has a history. In 2009 I initiated a bike ride called "Peddling against climate change". 800km from Uppsala to Copenhagen. We went in December: a Canadian, Pakistani, Kiwi, Ethiopian, German... Our equipment was terrible, e.g. using duck tape to protect the feet from the cold. Fond memories.
The wolves are dedicated to Leanna. The monkeys to Hugo.
