Berlin’s Bicycles

A040898

Ths entry is a collection of shots of bicycles we’ve seen in Berlin over the last 2 weeks. The one pictured above, we first saw in use with six people all pedalling away, some of whom were travelling backwards. I didn’t have the presence of mind to capture that image, but saw this bike again the other day, sans riders.

Below are other bike images from over the past two weeks.

Call a Bike is run by Deutch Bahn, the German National Railway. If a bike is available (has a blinking green light) then, if you have subscribed to the service, you can call a number to get an unlock code and take it. You pay by the minute, day or week.

We saw this on our last night in Berlin. Sorry, it’s a bit dark and my image processing facilities are limited. We saw lots of bikes built for special transportation needs. It wasn’t till near the end of our trip that I decided to try to collect images of the various bikes we saw. Too bad, because I missed some doozies.
