Doing fit and healthy things in the morning is the most important.
Monday mornings especially. Do you know why?
Because the most accidents happen then. Everyone knows that.
That’s why I’m personally the type of person who tries
not to overdo it on the weekend.
[Music]
Ah, what can I say?
I think, the most important thing is
to get a good night’s sleep,
and then no stress. One thing at a time.
[Alarm]
[Birds chirping]
The number one thing: indulge yourself with a really good breakfast
a strict nutritional plan,
the whole thing. Grains - that’s super important.
And then you start the day off relaxed.
Otherwise you’re not concentrating in the mornings.
What do you think could happen?
[Music]
For your own safety
we ask that you
please hold on tight during the journey.
[... Music]
So I always say,
you and your bike need to become one.
And that’s why it’s important
that everything is in A-grade, tip-top condition.
You need lights on your bike, front and back.
Reflectors on the spokes, like cats-eyes.
A bike helmet. Never cycle without a bike helmet.
[Music]
If things get risky,
you need to be able to rely on your bike.
Rely on the bell… and on the brakes, front and back.
I mean, that’s obvious isn’t it?
[Music]
[rattling bell]
[... Music]
I always let my colleagues drive me to work
as in… on the subway.
And when I go down the stairs,
I always put my hand a little
over the handrail
in case something happens,
so I can quickly grab it.
I don’t like to touch it,
but it’s good
to always hold your hand over it just a little bit.
In case you fall or something.
When people like me
sit so much and for so long on a bus
then you need a bit of variety every now and then.
And I have a pedometer.
Yep, I want to reach 5,000 steps a day
walk walk walk walk walk walk walk
[Music]
My final inspection.
I always do my final inspection at the last bus stop.
You wouldn’t believe
what people leave there
and what you find. Crazy.
[Music]
Especially in autumn and winter
... the steps can be treacherous.
Because they’re so slippery.
You have to be very careful, yeah. You’ve got to walk consciously.
Every step counts.
[Scream]
How long do you need?
Good, but no more than 2 minutes, please, okay?
No, we have virtually no
accidents at or on the way to work.
You know, we give our
staff members time…
and that prevents stress.
And between you and me:
it’s not that hard.
You just have to be careful.
Stupid bird, huh?
So, is that everything?
Good, then I need to go now.
So, I hope you have a
... a great weekend.
The Road Sweeper: yep, that’s my baby.
My PPE, that’s my personal protective equipment
which is personally
… really important for me
If it catches your foot, drives over it, then it’s happened…
Toe is done for, and you’re in hospital.
I never work without safety shoes
and I always wear a jacket with reflectors.
When I leave it off,
that means everything is totally secure
I’ll tell you that for free.
Because it could roll away or something.
[Music]
[rattling bell]
So I always allow a bit more time as a cushion
When I know that I need to leave work
... in the late afternoon.
Yeah, he does that.
I don’t want to be rushing.
No, he doesn’t want to be rushing.
I pick the kids up for us.
Yes, he picks the kids up for us.
You can pick them up from the nursery until 5pm.
Yes, until 5pm, that’s right.
[Music]
Yeah, and when you’re on your way
you should obviously wear bright clothing,
so any traffic can see you easily.
[Train bell rings]
But with all that stress, you shouldn’t forget
that as a pedestrian, you don’t have a car around you to protect you.
[Car horn]
[Music]
The great thing is, that at our nursery,
if you come just a minute or so late,
you don’t get into trouble.
[Music]
Yeah, I travel a lot by car.
To work and at work as well.
And that’s why it’s always really important
to take breaks… to stretch
yeah, Heinrich?
Because… I don’t want to be falling asleep on the way.
Yeah. For the environment it’s really important
to have a car pool.
A while back I always took two of my colleagues with me.
Sadly, the carpool
... has shrunk a little bit over time.
I’m not really sure why.
I think they’ve been transferred… or something.
Yeah, they must have been transferred.
Yeah
Why are you here actually?
Nothing actually happened to you.
I know, but I like it here.
