But I sure do wish they’d stop.
It’s dangerous out there on the streets with all these aggressive bike bats out fo hell.
Why do Germans cycle?
Is Germany only the land of cars? Yes and no, says Shabnam Surita. Even though Germans make and drive a lot of cars, their relationship with bicycles goes back a couple hundred years. And when it comes to bike-friendliness, Germany ranks quite high among other countries in the world.
You would have never thought it possible, would you? Some 40 percent of German night cyclists are on/off the road these days without functioning bicycle lights.
And I’m one of them. And I’m not even German. And I’ll tell you why: That little generator thingy that sticks out and is supposed to turn on the back wheel or something doesn’t make proper contact anymore. Hasn’t for a few years now (yes, of course I’ve tried to click it down like you’re supposed to).
So what else am I supposed to do, like get it fixed or something?
