This is why I really hate cyclists in Berlin. They go over red lights without even looking if there is a car coming or if there are people trying to cross the street. They cycle on the wrong side of the road, sometimes riding their bike straight into you. Some of them cycle next to you, trying to push you to go faster but not allowing you to go on your own rhythm. There are others that just block the entire bike lane while they talk to another person on a bike next to them. Why? If you want to talk to your friend, stop and talk. Don’t block the bike lane because you felt like sharing that gossip you heard somewhere.

Back in 1988, one year before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Tilda Swinton took her bike and cycled round the Berlin Wall, together with the filmmaker Cynthia Beatt. What they created came to be known as Cycling the Frame and it’s a beautiful and surreal document that shows a city scarred by a wall that cut it in half.

Above you can see my bike. There are many like it but this one is mine. Or something like that since I bought this on for Marcela back in August 2013 after the one she had was stollen. She always wanted a bike like this and I got her one. Too bad she really didn’t like the way you have to cycle on it and, kind of, gave up cycling for a while. Every time I meet somebody that just moved to Berlin, I ask them about buying a bike. And it is even better when you can cycle through it with some of what I consider my essential bike accessories. Yes, I have a list of those.
