Hello from North Rhine-Westphalia

[EckyH]

Hello,

while looking for informations about Brompton bicycles the search brought up this forum.
A 2015 S2L is the one here which needs some care:

So I looked around here and found not only plenty of knowledge of the people here, but also a thread about cat-ified film titles. Then I was hooked...
Because a big part of my vehicle fleet is made by British brands (Genesis, Bob Jackson, The Light Blue, Brompton, Tokyo Fixed) and I need to improve my English it was logically to take the plunge and register here.

I'm in my early 50s, like cycling for a reason (eg. commuting, reaching photo spots out of walking range), like woodworking with handtools, and I'm a servant of three cats.

I'm looking forward to take part here.

E.

Welcome

Wilkommen!!!

I am also the servant of three cats so it's lovely to have you here.

Welcome to the forum from a fellow Brompton and Genesis rider

Welcome!

I don't think that you need to improve your English though - it seems to be better than that written/spoken by many Brits...

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

And for the cat part - here is our Grand Dame Katie. I could convince the missus for that name, because Katie's character is like a song by Katie Melua.

Thank you.

In German we have a proverb: "Dogs have owners, cats have personnel."

Katie is a Maine Coon.
Here are our other two - both Siberians.

Tasha, the hacker cat (can do things on my computers I didn't even know about)...

...and Sidney "Roofrabbit Flycatcher Bully Ramses Spiderhunter" Kater ("Kater" is German for tomcat - he is named after Sidney Carter in the "Father Brown" TV series due to their fairly similar character - and every single nickname he has got is well deserved).
