Bike to Work Week

A friend of mine who lives in Georgia (hi tracie :-) ) is busy promoting the "bike to work" week. (Apparently this week). She's always been an avid cyclist and I remember when I lived in Berkeley a million years ago and worked together with her, we bought the same bikes. I think she is still riding hers while mine...uh...got a little rusty from being rained on and snowed on and...hmmm.

What's nice now is that I live in an area of Munich and work for a company where riding to work is the norm for me when the weather is ...collaborating with me. Today was a bit questionable, and as you can see by the photo i just took of the backyard here at work and the sky above...while there is no rain at this very minute...it is threatening to come again very soon. Oh wait, I take it back. It just started to pour. Riding home will be fun.















Anyway, so I promised Tracie I would show how Munich is such a bike-friendly city.
A few photos from around here...:


No cars allowed in this direction, but bikes are allowed. :-)



















Bike lanes next to the street...
















Bikes parked outside workplaces...
















Not bad. :-) Although I get yelled at all the time by pedestrians who think they own the sidewalks. Argh.
