Fahrrad success

Our trip to the used bicycle store was successful and now we have two new-to-us red bikes! Mine is definitely a city bike-- fully tricked out with metal fenders, a back rack, a front basket, dynamo-powered front and back lights and of course, a semi-strident German Achtung bell. I even had occasion to use the bell to castigate I mean warn some errant pedestrians who were in the bike lane. Alex's is more of a mountain bike. We've seen quite a bit of Munich during the last few days-- yesterday we took a long ride to the south along the Isar River and Grunwald forest. Naturally, we ended up at a biergarten, where we shared a fried trout and a pretzel with some Obatzda (Bavarian paprika/caraway/Camembert cheese mixture, served with onion and radish) and then took the S-Bahn back to the city.
