overbruggen - bridging
A Pavement in Leeuwarden has the shape of a rectangular triangle, with a base of 2.40 meters and a perpendicular of about 8 meters.
I am standing erect at the top of the triangle and shift sideways along the perpendicular, so bridging the distance to the hypothenuse (kerb) with my arms. After a number of meters the hypothenuse is so far away that I am forced to lean on the kerb with my hands. Having arrived at the end of the pavement, I have attained my physical limit: a bridging of 2.40 meters Then I lower my body.
