If you like to get in your daily exercise, reduce your carbon footprint and do your part in making this world a greener planet you can of course ride your bicyclethrough Berlin. The various green-spaces and mostly flat landscape make Berlin a great city for biking. As in most bigger cities, you should be informed that traffic and pedestrians don’t always watch out for bicycles. In Germany cyclists must adhere to the normal traffic regulations and street signs at all times, as well as maintain a “roadworthy” bike with intact lights and brakes. A failure to stop at stop signs, redlights, or riding your bicycle on pedestrian sidewalks could lead to severe fines. Last but not least, you should never ever ride your bike when intoxicated! As bicycle drivers in Germany are treated by law as active traffic participants, driving under the influence of alcohol is defined as a criminal offense that could result in arrest, loss of your driver’s license as well as severe monetary fines.
