An impressive route. Here you drive through a ravine with high walls right and left, which were renovated with great effort.

Sohnemann brought a lamp to the test
250 lux in high beam and 110 slightly in normal mode and daytime running lights are about darker
Price is already very proud but also very bright

Spontaneously arranged to meet my colleague at work today and just go after work, because of the movement. Shortly after 5 p.m. it got dark and the return trip was also a bit shady ... temperature-wise 🥶! It's just November 🤷🏻‍♂️!

Coffee pot... absolutely recommendable. Simply cute.... even the toilet is a place to feel good 🙈.
The conclusion was in the north park, enjoying the evening sun.

At the end of the weekend, we went for a little lap in the evening after work and a break on the balcony. 🚲. Through the "hinterland" towards Schee, Alte Glückauftrasse bus to the coffee pot, the other way around, another piece of NBT and a small detour back home..... SMALL BUT FINE and exactly the right decision!! 🤗
