Haibike has never been known for its original ideas or radical suspension concepts and the Lyke is no exception: the bike is based on a 4-bar Horst Link linkage (explanations in our glossary), the most common architecture and the most proven on the market . It’s simple, reliable, and usually works pretty well.

It develops 140mm of travel here, as on the front, and depending on the model we find Fox or RockShox to control it all. The high-end Lyke CF SE model is entitled to a strut shock absorber, in this case a Fox Float

geometry

Haibike and its short or outdated geometries are gone, and have been for a few seasons. The Lyke is very modern and its geometry fits its program perfectly on paper: a head angle of 65°, a versatile reach of 452mm in size medium and a seat tube angle just enough for long climbs (77.3°). ). We also notice a relatively high bottom bracket (just -25mm) to avoid pedaling on technical climbs.

Only the chassis are a little surprising as they are relatively long (450mm) as if we were on a large e-bike, whereas Lapierre or Focus have shown that it is possible to make it significantly shorter with the same motor. Will that have an impact on the pitch?

There China does not want Chinese financial institutions to participate in the flight of capital from Russia and has introduced detailed restrictions on the export of products denominated in the currency currency yuan from the country led by Vladimir Putin in the direction of the European Union, USA and Switzerland. The extension has also been extended to Russian operators holding yuan-denominated assets.

“Russian state broadcaster RBC and Frank Media, a Russian news channel specializing in finance and business, reported on announcements from Russian banks about the restrictions. Yuan transfers can now only be made from Banks of the Bank of China Group‘ remarks Meduza. In confirmation, “Dmitry Lesnov, CEO of Russian bank Finam, told RBC that Bank of China has suspended remittances in yuan, as well as US dollars, euros and Hong Kong dollars,” outside the Russian Federation, as of June 13 the added newspaper, one of the few independent information systems on Russian territory.

The move serves to consolidate Russia’s foreign exchange reserves and thus the appreciation of the ruble through the diversification of alternative currency sources. But it’s also a move China is promoting pro domo sua to solidify its penetration into the rest of the world. The yuan fights for it gain an increasing share in international exchanges to the detriment of the dollar, but at the same time suffers from structural problems related to fluctuations in Beijing’s economy.

Moscow has seen a massive asset freeze by Western institutions, and after a long period of recovery, Moscow is seeing a gradual depreciation of the ruble. For China, this poses a threat to economic security given the country’s high share of investment, but also presents an opportunity to make the yuan increasingly “geopolitical.” Such a move essentially creates the yuan Guarantor of the ruble and the business continuity of Russian banks. Hence the function of a vital lung of the Moscow system. In which operators from Moscow are increasingly active.

In this regard, Portal reported that the China Construction Bank has tripled its assets in Russia since February 24, 2022, the day of the invasion of Ukraine, and the Agricultural Bank of China has increased by 1.5 times: they are the Leader of a race that increasingly sees the yuan as a parallel currency in Russia. More and more Russian financial investments are using the payment system Cips (Cross-border Interbank Payment System), the Chinese alternative to Western Swift, and in Mongolia the “buffer” between the two large countries has been emerging for some time Ruble-Yuan Exchange Laboratory. Russia has also, as Nikkei pointed out, paid dividends to Chinese investors for gas production projects on the Moscow-controlled island of Sakhalin in the Pacific Yuan.

In short, Chinese aid to Russia to curb capital flight is just the latest step in a long line of processes that have enabled the yuan to make the ruble its de facto satellite. And increased the strategic projection of the Beijing uniform. From this point of view, the long, jagged, and often incoherent Chinese race to build an alternative currency system to the dollar, if the fact solidifies, could achieve another goal. In addition, the projection of the Yuan Nei energy markets, which players like Saudi Arabia bet on, comes as a key advantage. But will Moscow accept a secondary currency role that already exists in practice? Difficult to tell. But in the great economic war game between the West and Moscow, Russia must make a virtue of necessity. And expose yourself to the need to gradually transform into the junior partner of the People’s Republic. Without anything but selfless favors.

The AfD continues to climb in the polls: with 19 percent, in line with the ARD Germany trend, it is moving the SPD into third place. Most respondents think it’s a good thing when parties come together to stop AfD candidates.

If there were federal elections next Sunday, the Union would clearly be the strongest faction, according to the results of the current DeutschlandTrends poll for the ARD morning show. She could hold her result from three weeks ago at 29 percent. The AfD improved again and, at 19 percent, would reach the highest value ever determined for this party in the ARD Germany trend (+1 vs. June 1, 2023).

The SPD would be pushed into third place by the AfD and would receive 17 percent of the vote (-1). Bündnis 90/Die Grünen would again reach 15 percent, for the FDP would fall again to six percent (-1) after recently improved approval ratings. Four percent of voters would still vote for the Left Party – that would not be enough for a seat in the Bundestag.

Majority for merger against AfD candidates

To prevent AfD candidates in the runoff elections for mayor or district offices, the other parties have recently met more frequently and issued a recommendation for the opposing candidates. Approximately a second citizen (52 percent) considers this procedure correct. More than a third of respondents (35 percent) in the current DeutschlandTrend for the ARD morning magazine thought this was wrong. 13% do not want or cannot express themselves.

The coalition against the election of AfD candidates is supported by supporters of all parties with the exception of the AfD. In the new federal states, however, the number of critical voices against solidarity against AfD candidates is 40% higher than in the old federal states. 47% think this approach is correct.

Nationwide, there is even a slight increase among 35-49 year olds of 45-44% for those who view parties’ cooperation critically against AfD candidates. Those over 65 have the highest approval for this stage (58 to 31 percent).

The car is the most popular means of transport for summer vacations.

For millions of Germans, the car remains the most popular means of transport for the upcoming summer vacation. 41% of respondents have a car to start their summer vacation. 17 percent plan to fly and seven percent use the train. Other means of transport are of little importance.

many stay at home

However, three out of ten Germans (29 percent) do not go on holiday this year. Your own financial situation is the biggest hurdle. In particular, people with a low family income, less than 1,500 euros per month, want to stay at home this summer (57 percent). In the case of older citizens over 65 years old, one in two people want to forgo a summer vacation trip (49 per cent).

Results are rounded to whole percentages to avoid false expectations of accuracy. Because for all representative surveys, fluctuation ranges must be taken into account. In the case of a survey with 1,000 respondents, these add up to around three percentage points for large parties and around one point for smaller parties. Furthermore, the rounding error is significant for small parties. For these reasons, no party below three percent is shown in Sunday’s question.
