bike tour 2

I upload some photos from bike tour we did some days ago. This was a kind of short trip with about 25 km. Small warm up for futher tours:)


On the Main river live different swans and wild ducks. Swans prefer the part of Main near Offenbach, we don´t have so many swans in Frankfurt.

We have horse races in Frankfurt, in Offenbach they have dog races:)

Skyline of Frankfurt, view form the bike road between Frankfurt and Offenbach.
and again one photo of skyline. There are many families on sunny days so going by bike is not easy.
