A cycling photographer who sought out remnants of the old Iron Curtain, 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, has produced a book about his trip.
Paul Kaye, a translator who works in Brussels, is fascinated by Cold War history and decided to ride the 2,237 miles which marked the border between the West and the Eastern Bloc, from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic.
On the way, he took photographs of disused border posts, memorials to those who tried to escape, crumbling watch towers and bits of the Berlin Wall.
His ride took in various countries, some of which didn't exist at the time of the Cold War, and he visited towns and villages that are now reunited after a long separation.
The 160 pages contain more than 150 photographs with captions and descriptions, arranged in chapters according to the countries of the section of the border (Germany-Germany, Austria-Slovakia etc.) Each chapter has an introductory text.

Apparently, the European Union is now turning the entire route into an Iron Curtain Trail for hikers and cyclists.
"Tragic accident". Just fuck off.
I'm not the editor of this article, nor indeed of anything on this website. One would have thought that didn't require explaining.
I think the answer is in your question. I genuinely didn't know he was married to her. It does kinda explain it. Disappointing, nevertheless.
That certainly wouldn't have been cool, but they didn't. I watched it from start to finish, didn't happen. This isn't the first time you've made up...
What do we want?...
In a perfect world, we'd have a measure of how easily distracted someone is, as part of their driving test....
These products are nothing but ridiculously expensive and superfluous, and they bring nothing but bragging rights....
Of course they are, and not so different. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09B662CDN?crid=34M42BETAMFT0&th=1 The bugger's got four versions up now!
At least the van driver was nowhere near the stationary cyclist.
The BMX racers are also no longer being supported. Kye Whyte said he's lost his GT sponsorship. It also looks like GT will no longer make BMX bikes.
