Over the last few years, road riding in Berlin has been rapidly on the rise, and its fast and stylish nature fits perfectly with the vibe of the city.

      Guys, get your sunscreen and come to São Paulo, Brazil. Prepare yourself for 40Km/h without a stop sign, lots of action with an average speed of 48km/h+ on the busiest avenue in the country. There are many daily groups and others routes to enjoy. Also, there are nice roads in the countryside, just 1.5 hours of driving. GCN has many fans around here, and we would love to ride with you.

      For the 4 millions living in big B, the community isn't that great.
      Who is interested in a active, open community has to visit Leipzig.
      The grouprides of bike department Ost during summer are huge with up to 100 people.
      And from cheapish fixes to 10.000€ racing bike, you will find it all. And during summer once a month Porsche is opening their track for cyclist. That's a big fun
      And the Leipzig does not drink coffee, they drink beer 😉

      Amazing video! I have lived in Berlin for a year and discovered absolutely amazing cycling routes around the city in basically all the direction. East to Muggelsee, South around the airport loop, East to Potsdam and North is also awesome!

      I like the idea of presenting a city‘s bike culture. But, please, take a wider look around. There are literally thousands of „everyday“ cyclists in the city, and tons of workshops to accommodate them (they often tend to like those old steel-frame road bikes from the 80s). There’s also a gravel scene in and around the city and, as other commentators have mentioned, large events/activities such as Sternfahrt, the Critical Mass movement or the VeloCity. Also, you could look at the way bicycle infrastructure is set up or has been improving in recent years.

      I was a resident of Berlin for almost 4 years and rode my steel vintage road bike around everywhere. Must say, Berlin has always been a cycling city. From the straight up vintage bikes (shoutout to Steel Vintage Bikes!) to the race machines at Standert, Berlin has a bit of cycling for everybody.

      Great Video! Great to see my cycling playground on your channel. Maybe you can come back in summer. Grunewald is so much more beautiful, when its green 😉

      Cool idea for a series. Honest question: Is this video sponsored by Standert? Why only show that one brand out of so much cycling culture?

      I lived many years in Berlin….brought my first mountain bike there. I rode year round…got rid of my car.. I loved riding along the canals. Take the canal path behind Schloss Charlottenburg, climb some stairs, ride through this tunnel ( there's even a light switch you turn on to light your way through), you exit & there's this cute taverna. You continue on along through one of those little gardens with tiny houses that they have in Germany & eventually you come out in Spandau. I don't know if it's all still there…thus was year 2000. I was there mit u ohne die Mauer.
      Ich vermisse Berlin. 😢❤
