#BikeStreak, Day 64 + #WorldBicycleDay: Took part in the #Velodemo (a demo for more bike infrastructure) in northern #Zurich: https://velodemo.ch/

Had issues with the #Velospeeder e-assist (actually already on Sunday) and later found out that on one side the pressure spring of the friction wheel is missing. Back home I found a part of it, i.e. it seems as if the spring broke and then fell out. Still works once it's running, but it needs a small pothole or bump to get there... *sigh*

(21km)

A crowd riding towards a underbridge under a concrete wall (hiding a highway). Inmidst the crowd there's a quadricycle built from two upright bicycles, but where one rider (a young woman) rides backwards.

The crowd of bicycle riders waits before the tramway crossing is released by the police.

The bicycle demonstration rides around a sharp (60 degree) corner around a city building. Tramway tracks in the street they're coming from. View from the other side of the crossing. (Corker's view)

The two young women in front of their home-made quadricycle where the right rider rides backwards, i.e. the right saddle post has a handlebar and there is a saddle on a wooden mount on the top tube of the frame just behind where the handlebar of the right bike would be.

(I asked them if I am allowed to publish the picture in the internet and they both agreed.)
