Yesterday I did my usual Sunday ride to Ulm. There are only a couple of short climbs on it but one of them is a right bugger, a definite get off and shove job. At the top of the climb is a dairy farm and the farmer has put a table and four chairs outside his house with a note, in rhyming verse, exhorting cyclists who have just climbed the hill to take a seat and have a breather while recovering. There's no commercial interest at all: it's simply a pleasant gesture.
The second thing I noticed is that on the edge of Ulm the regional water company has built on the side of the cycle path a small drinking water fountain for people to fill their water bottles at.
It's things like that that make you think there's still hope for humanity.
