Cycling is my favorite hobby, and I devote a lot of time to it. Over the course of my time as a cyclist I've covered several thousand kilometers and taken part in lots of tours that have brought me to completely new regions of the world.

For me, cycling is not just about the exercise and the sporting incentive, but also the scenery that I can discover and enjoy in the process. What's more, when you're on your bike you are alone with yourself and are free to think in peace. Alongside the actual riding, I also maintain and repair my bike myself – that's just another part of cycling as far as I'm concerned.
