Photo of what can perhaps be called a bicycle, in that it has two wheels connected by steel framing, handlebars, and pedals. It also appears to have two bottom brackets (one of which is empty), has two large chain-rings (one of which has two sprockets but no derailleur) and what appears to be an upside-down rear derailleur mounted just under the saddle along with a chainring. Three chains connect the pedals to the rear wheel. About half of the drivetrain is at the same level as the top of the wheels, and the highest point of the chain runs inside of a chainguard. There are no brakes, shifting levers, or cables on the bike. There is a dynamo on the front wheel and a headlamp, but no wires connect the two. The handlebars appear to be upside-down. The entire bike is bolted down to a display stand, this is in a hotel lobby.

It is an extremely weird "bike" and it is not clear from the photo if it ever was operational, but it does look like someone had a wonderful time with a welder.

On the way back it was even foggier. There's an "electricity pylon" on the other side of the canal here, just a few metres away, which was almost invisible. It's not actually a pylon, btw, but an artwork which commemorates both the founding of Groningen and the energy produced in this area of the country.

After 18 km or so, my bike took a rest next to the cycle-path while I ate some of my lunch. The fog today was a bit of a problem for cycling because my glasses kept misting up and I had to wipe them regularly to see where I was going. Unfortunately, my recumbent bike doesn't have a stand so I have to lay it down if there isn't a convenient object to lean it against. The frame is very high in the middle and I've never found a stand anything like long enough to support it.
