Not an amazing picture, but a super nice ride out with my mate... :) The castle in the background is “Burg Rötteln” in the southern Black Forest, Germany.

Nah, looks about right. He'll land on the far side of the neighbour's roof... perfect down ramp.

Crap ! I think you're right ! I completely visualised the distances and velocities incorrectly ..

There was me concerned that he'd hit the top of the fence, when in actual fact he went full Evel Knievel, cleared the whole house - explaining why he broke his shock bolt !

I just wanted to post this pic from today's ride in case somebody runs to the same issue. The freewheel just stripped out the thread on the hub so it was like beeing on neutral gear. With some wire I attached one of the sprockets to the spokes and voila!! pedaling back to the car. I hope this can help somebody. Ah! zip ties don't work, the snap in a sec, it has to be wire.

I am getting a red helmet light, I am told it doesn’t blind the animals and they don’t lose night-vision for 30-sec or so.
You could just ride backwards ?

Animals don't seem to be quite as sensitive to being light blinded as we do, though I normally try not to shine mine at them.

Red light is terrifyingly ineffective !!!! Or I guess you could think of it as fun ..

Keep in mind that drunk men in the forest may think you're a Eco-Dutch mobile hooker.
