Time off and a healthy lifestyle are driving some young Americans to Europe: 'You are a person first and a worker 2nd'

Reply in thread

What always seemed strange to me: Every single US-American I've ever personally met (in Europe or the US) has always been nothing but polite, helpful and friendly. But 300 million of them (mayby together with historcal ballast) create this political system that seems to be rather counterproductive for raising the average standard of living (emphasis on average, if you are in the top 10%, USA seems to be a nice place to be).

I do concede, that the average standard of living is still impressive, but the continual improvement of the 50s and 60s seems to have stopped

Planning on moving to Nuremberg

along the Pegnitz/Wöhrder See you'll find a lovely bike path to cross Nurenberg from east to west. Some of the other roads can be a bit hit and miss in regards to cycling, but in general you will be able to find a nice route with a bit of searching.

A propos family friendly neighbourhood: I haven't heard anything bad about the northeast (and nothing of concern about the rest of the city). Rent did rise significantly in the last decade, though.

closest MTB Area I know of would be the "Winterleite" near Kalchreuth.

Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit Trecking-Rad

Achtung: die aktuellen Marathon Supreme (ohne Supreme ist für "schnell" sowieso raus) haben eine andere Gummimischung, die wieder ein paar Watt mehr Leistung kostet im Vergleich zur alten "oneStar-Compound". Ich hab mir damals im Abverkauf noch ein paar von der alten Sorte geschnappt.

Die schon genannten Conti GP Urban werden bei mir wohl die Nachfolger werden.
