Put red Geranium is Swiss?!!!
I though it was andalousian… maybe is a connection between us!

BASEL IST SCHÖN
ZÜRICH IST SCHÖNER
APPENZELLERLAND IST DAS BESTE…….

The bike rack is minimalistic but definitely not smart.

* You cannot lock your bike to an immovable object.

* There are different tyre widths. If your tyre is too small your bike will fall over.

* There is a reason why these bike racks are also called “Felgenmörder” (= wheel rim murderer) in Austria. ;-)

I vote for the bike rack. I would go great with a puddle fountain.

Oh to have a place where bike crime is rare enough to allow such bike racks. They’d all be stolen within minutes around my way!

CH – how I miss you!
A big hug from me encircles the whole, beautiful little country.
Thanks for being our eyes there, Tina!

That’s beautiful. I just saw a lot of red geraniums at a cool candy shop in Maine. I took a photo. It’s on my blog—-> Come see! Mountain Mom Report. I love your blog and it’s a regular read for me now. I put a link to you too, to share with others. Thanks so much for the daily inspirations and fresh thinking.

Basel ist schön. Die Wettsteinbrück, der Globus,der Barfüsserplatz,die Hasenburg und dass mein erster Sohn dort geboren wurde. Ich habe dort studiert und gearbeitet und vermisse es immer noch ein bisschen. Als Studentin besuchte ich die erste Art Basel, es hat sich nicht viel geändert, die Fasnacht ist immer noch grandios, aber das ist ein anderes Thema.

Lovely blog!
Thanks for these pictures. I’ve been seriously homesick lately, I shall try this geranium trick.

ha! I’ve never seen those bike racks anywhere else, perhaps I didn’t look around enough :) planning on visiting Zürich before you go back *home*?

Those bike racks are great, but it would make more sense to put your back wheel in the slot than the front wheel. Silly swiss ;-)

Love it. Spent my honeymoon in Basel 10 years ago and think of it often!
