The route passed through the Müritz National Park, a place known as the land of a thousand lakes, and it was stunning to cycle through it. Also, it was the first time I spotted any other cyclist on the Berlin to Copenhagen route. Especially when I got to Waren, a gorgeous city by the Müritz Lake, I could spot people bike-packing, and it felt nice to be part of a group.

When I first visited the Bauhaus school in Dessau, one thing was missing: the Bauhaus sign that appears in most school images. That part of the building was covered with a tarp, and a replacement sign was in place. For years, I wondered when the original sign would be back in place, and I had an answer to that question in the summer of 2024.

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.

Moving to Berlin was something that changed my life completely. I didn’t know that before coming here and I wasn’t ready for all of this. But, living in Berlin changed my habits, my way of seeing things and I’m pretty sure I’m not the same guy that left Brazil anymore. And I blame Berlin for that.

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.
