   13 barn owls in a trenchcoat (hauntedowlbear@eldritch.cafe)'s status on Sunday, 23-Jun-2024 00:21:30 JST 13 barn owls in a trenchcoat

   Weather cleared. Got my ride in. ~3 hours of backroad exploration and taking Small Owlbear through road signs and roundabout practice in town.

   Bit of road descent practice (frankly, they're getting better than me, at least when I'm on the MTB rather than my road bike).

   Aggression-trained dogs who love barking at cyclists: 1

   Vast silos looming ominously across the countryside like something out of a Thomas Ligotti story: 4

     @Njord @fedibikes France has the highest number of roundabouts in Europe!

     And the nearby town of Fougeres has the highest number of roundabouts in France!

     @Njord @fedibikes If it was that multi-lane nightmare at the Arc de Triomphe, then your assessment is 110% correct.

     (It has improved since the recent car restrictions, to be fair, but only in business, not design.)

     I believe it. I actually saw my very first roundabout visiting my aunt in Paris, and it scarred me for life *laughs*
