I've been trying this cool app that maps drinking fountains around the country

Such a live saver, when you're cycling.

Only issue, more than half of them are inside cemeteries 😶
Do the dead use them?
I never seen a drinking fountain before.
@Elessar Oh cool. I thought they looked like the American ones that you lean over and it squirts water in your face.
But yea that doesn't sound clean and drinkable.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether If it's good enough to keep plants alive, I would think it's good enough to keep people alive. But what do I know?

@LordShadowfire Nope, absolutely not 😅

🎶What about temporary ones like at outdoor concerts?
Elessar · 26-30, M
@FloorGenAdm In general the areas a cycle in are like 3 houses, a church, a cemetery, 50km radius of absolute nothingness 🥴

But you can go in the cemetery just fine 😅

I loved how in Vienna there were water fountains everywhere. And there were also signs for the public toilets everywhere. A city built for me lol

@HannibalAteMeOut I need to get myself a proper bike, I went to the hills with my current bike designed for plains and I've almost died going up 😆 gear 1 both front and rear and I could barely move the pedals.

But yeah, I did, with a rented entry level MTB

@Elessar damn you are in good shape
Elessar · 26-30, M
@HannibalAteMeOut Legs, yeah. Upper body.. 🥴

Cemeteries are cool. I live by some. Plus, you're a grown man, they shouldn't scare you
Elessar · 26-30, M
@deadgerbil They don't scare me, lol. One problem is that they're closed by 7pm, and often by then I'm just at 50% of the ride, and another is that I've no idea if the water from the fountains there is safe to drink 😅

@Elessar just take it on the chin. Gigachads don't care about water impurities
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Elessar You know why they lock cemeteries at night, don't you?
drinking fountains inside of cemeteries is a thing??? That my weird fact for today I guess.
you'll be sipping skeleton juice 🔥
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Dewms Calcium for the bones, from the bones 🩻
@Elessar skeleton milk
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Dewms Bone Apple Tea!
😅 You and your weird apps.
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Vivaci It's got over 100k downloads, it's not exactly unknown


It has also a street view like feature so you can check the fountain before going for it 😅😅 see pic #3
@Elessar That’s neat! 😃 I think it’s a European feature… haven’t seen it in other countries. I remember reading/hearing something about it during the Tour de France show.
Wonder if all the taps have safe drinking water though?

Time to try midnight bicycling.
Elessar · 26-30, M
@SinlessOnslaught After 100km/60miles you need a refill no matter what 😅
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
Why not just bring a jug
Elessar · 26-30, M
@DeluxedEdition I do, I have two, but those need a refill every now and then
don’t know how those are used, do you
Elessar · 26-30, M
@deathfairy To water the flowers
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
So what? You scared of zombies?
Elessar · 26-30, M
@LordShadowfire They close at 7pm, and also if it's water from the underlying aquifer you're drinking essence of grand-grand-pas. It should be "drinkable" if it's listed on there, but also, the fountains they install in cemeteries are generally for watering the flowers/plants, and I've never seen anyone drinking from one
