More and more clients want to use their phone while cycling. Yesterday I got a call from a client saying that the bike is not working. The gears are not shifting. This problem has been there from the very start of their trip, 3 hours earlier, they say. Why wait 3 hours to call? The gear is stuck on the biggest sprocket, so you are pedaling 60 rpm to move forward (i.e. pedaling a lot to move a little), for 3 hours. Of course, 3 hours after bike delivery I am 80 Km away already moving luggage for other clients. I tell them to proceed to the next village and I will be there in an hour or so. They say that they feel abandoned and are cold. So I ask for pictures of the rear derailleur to see if it got damaged by a stick or something. All looks good in the pictures, derailleur is straight and not damaged. The chain is on the biggest rear sprocket and will not descend. That means the cable is under maximum pressure, and thus the problem is not a cut cable. If the cable was cut, there would be no pressure on the cable and the chain would automatically descend to the smallest sprocket. In 13 years of working on this same model bike I have never heard of this problem before. So I go back to the clients 80 km one way by car. I find them and the bikes at a restaurant. After checking the bike in question it immediately becomes clear that the phone holder is blocking the gear shift leaver! I moved the phone holder to another position and voila, problem solved. 5 seconds of work, 2 x 80 km on the road for that. And after that they say, "was this on your way?" No, it was 160 Km out of my way.

Our first bike tour of the year started earlier this week. There is still snow on the Pyrenees, which can be seen easily from Beziers or even from the beach between Sete and Agde (see picture below).

Note photographe Michel Desnos a "shooté" la station du Cap d’Agde par temps clair, depuis la plage de Sète. Un cliché qui offre une perspective magnifique.

Every first weekend of the month train tickets are 1 euro per person in 2024.

L’opération des trains TER à un euro reprend du service en Occitanie ce week-end du 6 et 7 janvier 2024. Comme chaque premier week-end du mois, les voyageurs peuvent profiter de billets à tout petit prix. Lancée en 2022 par la Région et la SNCF, cette offre rencontre un franc succès.
