Welcome Professionals…

… I made my first client visit by bicycle today. It felt just great.

The weather was nice and sunny and the client location was actually only 3 km away from my office. Google maps suggested the most time efficient way to get there was by bicycle. So I did.

The city of Zurich has recently been flooded by rental bikes of an Asian company. But there are plenty of other suppliers. Just across the street of my office, there is a municipal workshop, renting bicycles for free, you just need to fund a deposit.

The company I visited was a startup, where I came completely overdressed wearing suit and tie. Parking my bike in front of the door got me about break even. It felt wonderful cruising through the city, like a little refreshment during the workday. A breakout from the usual schedule.

Thank you for the suggestion Google. And thank you for renting bicycles for free, Zurich.

Keep moving,

Malte
