Schwalbe geht mMn den richtigen Weg. Sie haben letztes Jahr ihr eigenes Recycling Programm vorgestellt, und bringen jetzt den ersten Reifen, der zu 70% aus recyceltem Material besteht. Weiter so.
My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.
In Germany, official government buildings will have the flag on or in front of it, usually next to a bunch of other (eu, county, city...).
Private citizens will fly the flag for sports reasons, or in more right-wing communities they'll fly either the official flag or the old black-white-red one from empire times. Most people will look at you funny for flying the flag when no sports or eurovision are/is going on.
There is really very little "neutral" ground here.
I have a Riese&Müller Vario Swing. I wanted something to transport bigger loads, but also still a bike. So I got a Citybike with a trailer.
The thing is a year old now, and I've used it much more than just for shopping. In the height of summer, I also use it for commuting (without trailer), because I wouldn't make it home otherwise in the afternoon heat. And whenever I go somewhere I have to be presentable, it's still better than public transport.
It doesn't need much maintenance apart from what every bike needs, the belt is even easier than a chain, and the battery gets me quite far.
I also have "normal" trekking bike. And I think if I buy another ebike, it would not be a citybike again. The low access is nice, but the seating position is not for longer trips.

How common is it to fly your country's flag, and how is it seen by others?
