The first week of June, I rode an elderly borrowed Birdy Blue between Strasbourg and Frankfurt, mostly beside a fairly flooded Rhine. A pair Ortliebs on the front rack were more than enough, given hotel stays. Out and back on Eurostar/ TGV and ICE. All good fun overall but I don’t particularly like the Birdy’s front end geometry. The 3x7 gears worked well enough, though the gentle route meant that the middle hub gear would have been sufficient.
