speed limits: the Swiss way
Yesterday was a good day: 30 degree and a sunny day. I decide for a small bike ride around the city. Since I'm quite fit, the small ride converted in a 60Km agony with a couple of killer uphills!!!
Here you can see the map of my tour.
The tour was great!!! You don't ever need a map because these signs are all over:
The landscape is also worth the fatigue of the ride:
But the funny thing is the climb between Dornach and Gempen. On each tree at the road side you can find an hanging CD. I was climbing and wondering why somebody has done this: there are around 3000 CD!!! Then the answer came. It was announced by a loud of typical noise: wrooommm!!! A black convertible Ferrari overtook me at around 120 km/h.Considering the climb that was a hell of a speed.
Then a BMW Z4, then a lot of super bikes....
I asked to a guy and he explained me that apparently the CDs reflect laser beam. The Police use laser guns to detect speed limits.
The new name for the r0ad Dornach - Gempen is ... Indianapolis.
The speed limit for the descent Gempen - Liestal is 50 km/h and there are no CDs.
Since I have no plates, I was happy to run 70 km/h. Maybe the Police now have some picture of my buttock!!!
