Mam Vëlo op d’Schaff 2018

August 1, 2018 kewl Leave a comment

Mam Vëlo op d’Schaff, in short MVOS, is a yearly bike to work (or school) campaign run by the Verkéiersverbond (National Public Transport Community) from May 15 to July 31. They also encourage the participation of members on social networks; this year the hashtag was #mvos2018.

So I decided to make a Map, using the tools from VeloViewer, which does the job much better and faster than me.

Bike to work map during #mvos2018 operation

Map of all active transportation during #mvos2018 period.

Summary of all active transportation activities during #mvos2018 period (size of the point: elevation gain; colour of the point: average speed)

But I have shot several photos and published 225 of them on my Gallery! Below is a small sample of the landscape I shot either on my way to work, or most likely after work. With the long days I was able to do several (de)tours and explore roads and tracks I have never been before.

**Château de Koerich (May 15, 2018):** First MVOS 2018 detour via Koerich. History of the castle available on this photo.

**Before the shower (May 23, 2018):** I tried to avoid the thunderstorm by going south of it; too bad it also moved south.

**Cycles of effort and comfort (June 5, 2018):** Asphalt track between Lingten and Blaschette.

**Belgium/Luxembourg border (June 7, 2018):** Does crossing a border twice make me a cross border commuter?

**Contradiction: go or no go? (June 8, 2018):** “Malheureusement la Police constate trop souvent que les cyclistes ne savent pas toujours précisément ou se trouve leur place allouée”
