Just to want to get from A to B quickly or go on a short tour with your friends?

No matter what a bike is used for, what is paramount for me is the mix of style and functionality. Because let's face it, everyone strives to ride a bike that makes it easy to get around without getting frustrated about something every few metres. But at the same time, nobody wants to be smiled at for their stylish folding bike when they are actually dressed for an intensive sports training session.

Key facts about me: My name is Felix, I'm 26 years old, I'm a federal police officer by profession, and a part-time content creator on Instagram. In my free time I do a lot of functional strength training. Since I'm honestly not a fan of cardio training, cycling is the perfect alternative for me. Here I can decide for myself how much effort I want to put in. With running, for example, there is only "strenuous" and "even more strenuous". Fun aside, I like to ride my bike and especially in the summer I'm really out and about on my bike a lot. For example, if I want to go to the city for a short time to get to the gym, I use the bike as my short warm-up. The bike is also perfect for small shopping trips. And still look good in the process? Totally! The "Swagger" from EXCELSIOR promises this. For me, this bike exudes sportiness, along with a sense of style. I personally like the colour as well as its simple retro look.

The nature of my job means the aspect of fitness is also important in my private life. After all, there is a civil servant's duty to keep healthy. For me it means that I am legally obliged to stay healthy. Now, of course, the term "healthy" can be interpreted very broadly, but for me it means both being able to perform my work and to withstand a certain amount of stress. Most of my unit's assignments are physically very strenuous. Working hours of 13 hours per day are not uncommon and depending on the reason for the assignment, there may be further physical stresses. Therefore, it is all the more important to keep fit and, if possible, to become even fitter.

In my free time, apart from being physically active, I also love to take photos. Mostly I take photos for my own Instagram feed, but also for cooperation partners. Especially in a city like Berlin, there are cool photo spots practically on every corner, and because of the parking situation, it doesn't make much sense to always use the car to get from one place to another. What's the solution? My EXCELSIOR "Swagger". It provides me with flexibility and in the best case I can even take some cool pictures together with my bike.

All in all, I am more than satisfied with my bike. I can integrate it into almost all aspects of my life, and therefore it's the perfect companion for me.
