Nope, you have American Crows. We are looking to add the European variety, the Carrion Crow.

You see these rental boats throughout France. A very slow and relaxing way to travel.

It may be seasonal, but I see a lot of posts on social media from Brits about cycling holidays in Mallorca.

Interesting thought. Most tourists here are German though, followed by other continentals. Still, it is possible they are thinking reversed brake sides.

Maybe they are accustomed to working on UK bikes? I believe the brake levers are reversed compared to bikes sold in Europe or North America. On UK bikes, the left lever operates rear brake and the right lever operates the front brake.

Very apt. The darn thing was rock hard. And yet, the fellow said he found it super comfortable. Of course he is reed thin , so maybe your friend still had it right.

A colleague of mine referred to saddles like that as ass hatchets. Only comfortable for very light people.

I must be extra-astute, because I didnt have to ask that. I see the roadies in the distance.

Not soon at least, if ever. We’ll have to see, but this year we plan to end Spain at Malaga.

Mallorca wonderfully has several "official" birding places. And the cycling culture, at least March/April is insane! Are you planning to give it another try soon? Ferry to Sete for us was amazingly cheap, at 116 euros.

Hey, this looks great! Even better than when we rode it the other way catching the ferry from Barcelona. It was 5AM when we rode the other direction, freezing cold, and I was desperately sick and thought I had covid.

And we didn’t see any birds.

In dictatorship conditions it can be difficult for people, even Republican members of Congress, to resist. But when even the MAGAs are paying $6000 for their iPhones, they may all take to the streets.
