Bart's Cycling Scribes 霸特單車遊記: February 12, 2016: Great alternatives for riding home from work

前幾天加班，今天可以早一點離開公司，享受著周五的日落。短短的騎乘也可以擴大自己的地理了解。我找到了一條更棒的回家路。雖然是饒一圈可是完全避免布拉格最擁擠的所在。這當下我發現捷克的冬天漸漸地離我而去，換來的應該是我人生初次的 [布拉格春天]。

回家之後洗車。我瘋狂騎車有五年之久可是最近我才徹底領悟到洗車的好處：洗輪圈跟剎車皮讓整個剎車更有控制感洗鏈條跟飛輪導致變速更順，鏈條的生命更長。看著馬錶我也發現明天我的公路車會破一萬六千公里。真是接近剛買車的時候說好的兩萬！而且是兩年之內！

帶會準備衣服做飯，早一點睡覺。明天後天有四白多公里的丘陵路對荷蘭車手霸特的出現迫不及待還有望穿秋水

What I like about my job here in Czechia are the flexible hours. If you want, you can start work at 7:30 and finish at 16:00. Not something that is fun for every day, but on a Friday prior to a long cycling weekend, it is really something nice. So that's what I did today. I left the company at 16:20 and I wanted to be creative in finding a new way home.

From Prosek I went in the direction of Letnany, using one of the lanes I had never used before. I noticed I was on the other side of the Letnany subway.

Engaging Letnany in northern Prague

Then I arrived in Kbely. My destination is Cakovice, which is on the far periphery of Prague. I am not a fan of big city life, so living on the periphery is my first choice.

Apparently Letnany has an airport. Must be a small thing...

There is also a aviation museum here, which is cool

Entrance is free!

Honestly, all of this reminds of a lot of the Shengang cycling trail that runs right next to the Taichung Qingquangang airport in Central Taiwan. There are also aircraft hanging around like this one.

Interesting to see that Stara Boleslav is already indicated here. I will ride there next week and go back home via Brazdim. Today I took a left to Cakovice.

I realized that this was the area where my GPS sends me on weekend rides going south. I liked that thought because these roads are a lot more tranquil. A nice way to do even less of Prague's crowded roads.
