Hallo Deutschland!

We will be going away for a little while, to Germany. We will be back quite soon, but we wanted to tell you. Also we wanted to take the opportunity to show some pictures from Germany. Germany is fast becoming one of the best cycling countries in the world, which is super cool, because what do you think of when you hear "Germany"? No, lay off the nazi jokes, that was 70 years ago. And put the "eating meat and drinking beer" aside too. OK, really, you could think of a lot of things when you think about Germany. Like a beautiful country. Good music (Kraftwerk, Alphaville, Atari Teenage Riot, Kruder & Dorfmeister... and so on). Good films (Good bye Lenin!, Barbara, Lore... and so on). Friendly people. But honestly you also think about cars, don't you? Mercedes. BMW. Audi. Porsche. Opel. And the now infamous Volkswagen...

But you don't think very much of bicycling, right? However, that might be changing soon. Pictures from Berlin and Munich are making us really impressed and glad. And hoping that we could see the like over here too. So check out this cool article from the European Cyclis's Federation.

And ride safe!

A cyclist in Cologne. Chic and cool. (We borrowed this picture from European Cyclist's Federation. Hope that's OK!)

A traffic area in Munich... and how cool is this? Will we ever see something like this in Gothenburg? (We borrowed this picture from European Cyclist's Federation. Hope that's OK!)

A bicycle lane in Berlin. This is how it's supposed to look. Note how the pedestrians are not standing in the middle of the bicycle lane! (We borrowed this picture from European Cyclist's Federation. Hope that's OK!)
